Bitcoin confirms

Hi everyone

I've been using bitcoin for a year and a bit now, and never had any problems with it until now.
I'm using the same wallet I've used the entire time, and only recently has this problem arisen.

I'm using MulbitBit 0.5.18, as it was what I was first taught to use and as I said I've never had any problems with it, so I saw no reason to change platform.

I tried to sell some bitcoin today to Bogla, and as usual they wait for a confirm before paying which is fine.

However, it's been 9 hours and there is no confirm yet and yes I've dealt with bitcoin I know it takes a while sometimes but I'm worried as another payment I sent on the 23rd has also not confirmed.

So basically what I need help with is, how can I get my bitcoin out of this wallet and into PayPal, or another wallet that actually works 100% of the time.

Thank you for your time.

 

If this is a reoccuring problem, which only happens sporadically you should simply transfer all of your money to another wallet to see if that'll help. I recommend blockchain if you're going to use an online wallet and electrum if you prefer using offline wallets. As far as my knowledge goes the problem should lie within the confirmation chain itself and not the bitcoin wallet, but changing wallet ("upgrading" in your case) would not hurt you.

 

I don't want to transfer all my Bitcoin to another wallet and risk that not confirming either though, I think it's something to do with low fees being paid but I have no option to change them

 

If you have received bitcoin recently and one of the transactions are stuck as "pending" (double spend, transaction being canceled) it will freeze all of your funds until that transaction clears. If you don't have any incoming transactions that are stuck as pending, I am not sure
