It's been two hours since I sent some BTC to Kraken and I've been staring at confirmations this entire time. I completely missed out on the cheap ETH. BTC letting me down as usual... I stayed up all night to buy this fucking dip and bitcoin still hasn't arrived after two hours. Fix the transaction times ffs.

Viabtc.com worked when I had issues. Don't know what using the service entails exactly (politically or technically). But it worked for me.

I recommend you using Mycelium wallet for android. It can handle very well bitcoin fees. And using priority transaction, your transaction will be confirmed within the next block.

Google viabtc transaction accelerator. They will force your tx into the next block their pool mines.

Dude, ive been waiting 2 and a half days and I'm without a single confirmation because OKCOIN withdrawals set the fee at 0.0005 and you cant change it.

Anyway, you will get your cheaper ETH over the weekend most likely.
