<p>Sorry if I'm acting like a noob. Never had a transaction take this long and it's worrying :/ It's been about 6-7 hours and still no confirmations. Do I just wait it out? Please help! :(</p>

<p>The transaction ID is

<p>EDIT: My wallet will not synchronize now either...</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

It looks like the transaction confirmed shortly after you posted this. https://blockchain.info/tx/c3cfa18f21ab69dce87b269643cc841f0c16b7e69683afaad14a25d4b0740277 Should I delete this?

You can thank the China government and internet censorship for the recent blockchain issues considering the two largest bitcoin miners are in China.

I have payments from yesterday almost 18 hours that have not finalized so you are not alone.

It is the beginning of the end for bitcoin brotha better start learning Monero!
