Transaction Seen by 195 peers, still no confirmation (WTF?)

Hi, hoping someone smarter than me has clue what to do about this.

I have had an Alphabay deposit pending for 6 days, seen by 195 peers and counting and not a single confirmation, this is driving me nuts, anyone know if there is a way to expedite it? This is getting ridiculous.

Next time set a fee of about $1. If you set some fee this tool can help you.

This is the sad future of bitcoin, and its only getting worse.

Fees are exploding, and all because to parties cant get together and make a decision about how to upgrade the underlying network.

Right now many of them are pissed that Litecon has risen 800% in value, and some guys even claims its done purposely by other users who wants to harm Bitcoin somehow (sigh the stupidity).

One solution is to use Electum wallet and always mark your fee as replaceable so you can do a double spend if the fee is to low to go through. It will make it possible to change fee as many times as you like.

The most obvious solution would be to use a different altcoin which doesn't have these setbacks, as you can get down to use fees of just a few cents. But that is of course only possible if the vendor accepts something other than btc.
