Ok Im probably going to get slaughtered
for this, but it the first time I take this route
to get my BTC into my sr account.
And It has been 2 days now that it says "unconfirmed transaction"
Is there anyone kind enough to explain when I can expect my coins in
my account?
If there is anything to speed this up as I read about a 0.005 donation?
If its maybe better to cancel and go a different way?
I used to use instawallet and things seemed allot easier.
Any help is appreciated.
P.s Yes Iam serious, and no not always this retatred.
Cheers :D

So where were you sending the bitcoin from? What wallet were you using, or what service? If you're trying to deposit to your SR wallet from another non-SR wallet and it is showing the transaction as unconfirmed, that is an issue with the originating wallet / transaction ... not the SR wallet.

When sending bitcoins, you should ALWAYS include the recommended "transaction fee" amount so that your transaction will start getting confirmations quickly in the bitcoin network. When you don't include it, there's no telling how long before will get confirmed. Confirmations require that one of the bitcoin network computers cryptographically verify a transaction against the entire ever-growing blockchain, and any transactions where the sender didn't include a fee will have zero priority.
Unfortunately, there is no way to "cancel" a bitcoin transaction. You're stuck waiting.

and getting my btc freed up again.
And resend straight after and went thru in 10mins. 8)

Probably had something to do with the blockchain fork.
for a little while last week there were two different blockchains progressing in two different directions. Your transaction probably got caught up on the wrong one
