It's a large Tx kilobyte wise. And is using a lowish fee (but not super low, just minimal)

If you sent a new Tx with 65 satoshis per byte as fee right now, bitcoinfees.earn.com says it should be picked up within the next 8 blocks max. About 3 hours.

Why no miner has grabbed it yet I am not completely sure. It's not a juicy job for a miner but enough of a fee I would think.

thanks optional

so it seems like everything is super slow right now... i'll just keep waiting, still unconfirmed

bitcoinfees.earn.com will give you a good idea of how long it will take to confirm

Nearly 55k pending transactions as of post (It was 20K a couple weeks ago): https://bitaps.com/

Adjust your fees accordingly or be prepared to wait.

why would it show up as "not found" on bitaps and blockchain explorer?

Has it been sitting in the mempool for several days or is this a recent transaction?

It's got a confirmation as of this post. The tx ID you posted in post 6 has a space in the txid between the 44 and 0 just to the right of the middle of the txid which is causing the transaction not to show up by simple copy and paste because it's broken. Use this link:

Just a moment...
