Transfer was completed 24 hours ago. BTW, thanks for replying!
Do you have the info on the transaction where you sent the BTC to the address provided? If you do, try contacting the user @blocktrades and see if he can help.
Yes. I sent the BTC from my desktop app. Okay, thanks for the advice!
The problem is the fee paid by your wallet is too low for any miner to confirm it on the bitcoin blockchain.
yeah I see....this is the first time I sent BTC....I have lots to learn. Thank you for the response!
so what happens now? is it forever lost?
No, the money is actually still in your wallet, but your wallet won't let you use it because it thinks your transaction will confirm. Here's one discussion about a way to handle this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1510877.msg15287316#msg15287316
