Topic: 41 hours to get into blockchain! (Read 1068 times)
I did a transaction 1/8th your size without fees and got confirmed a little reluctantly after 2h or so
the min fee for low priority tx is a good place to start. That is 0.1 mBTC per kB.
You can also choose to have a larger transaction fee if you want your transaction to go through faster. Honestly, if I were you though I would avoid not paying tx fees.

Is there a general rule for how much I should make my transaction fees to ensure speedy insertion in blockchain and thus speedy confirmation?

Because you didn't pay a fee. Or basically, you were cheap, that's why.
Does Bitcoin allow retracting transactions from the network before someone places them in the blockchain?Because you didn't pay a fee. Or basically, you were cheap, that's why.

Why did it take this transaction 41 hours to get into the blockchain? How is that possible?
It was received on 2013-11-18 23:31:24 and only got into block # 270639 (2013-11-20 16:02:07 +2,431 minutes)!
It thus instantly jumped from 0 confirmations to 13+ confirmations now.
Is this because the volume of BTC transactions has skyrocketed recently, and blocks have a transaction number limit, don't they?
