<p>I received a transaction which has been unconfirmed for 36 hours with 0 confirmations. I'm relatively new to btc and having had a relatively speedy, problem free experience so far I'm not sure what to make of it.</p>

<p>Any help would be welcome.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

It looks like the transaction doesn't have fees. That will make things take much longer.
