I transferred the Bitcoin more than 7 hours ago and all I have is “Waiting for blockchain confirmation” I set high fees from my side just to avoid this to happen. This happens every single time. What do I do now? Just wait and lose 2 days for a trade? ---

Is there any way I can increase the transaction fee? The bisq fees are confirmed, but the deposit is not because the bitcoin fee bisq have set is very very low. ---

the mempool is fluctuating up and down lately and so if a trade is taken with low fees it may take awhile before it clears if the fees suddenly spike up! There are [services](https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator) you can use to increase the fee on a transaction or you can look into CPFP.
