Electrum wait times

I have 3 current transactions with electrum and 2 have finally been confirmed after taking at least 24 hours, but they are not showing up in my AB account. I know I didn't get phished as I used the market superlist. Also, does raising the transaction fee help speed up the process? If so how much do you guys raise it too. I'd like to get a few express orders in by the weekend.

Thanks,

there is a site that will compare blockchain traffic to processing times and associated fees. It will show you the fee those transactions paid and the time it will take them to get confirmed. Lately this is .002/kb or higher.

https://bitcoinfees.21.co/

for instance The fastest and cheapest transaction fee is currently 220 satoshis/byte, or .0022/kb

The blockchain is experiencing insanely high traffic so transactions with a low fee will be ignored by the miners. Set your fees higher on electrum to at least .002/kb its only a dollar per kb and most transactions are only a few hundred bytes so its maybe 25cents
