A payment FROM Deepbit is unconfirmed?
As they put payments in the blocks they find, it's kinda weird...

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees

On the other hand, nobody mining new bitcoins necessarily needs to accept the transactions and include them in the new block being created. The transaction fee is therefore an incentive on the part of the bitcoin user to make sure that a particular transaction will get included into the next block which is generated.

Basically, it's up to the people/pools in determining which TX's are accepted and put into the new blocks as they are found.  As you've noticed, those people/pools have been ignoring the low-priority/no-fee ones lately.

Check the 'Transactions' column.

That won't help until the TX is 'posted' into a block, which hasn't happened yet.

It seems that most pools solving blocks basically ignore most low-priority TX's (i.e. no-fee transactions) at this point.  Which is why there's so many unconfirmed transactions lately.

Yes, whenever I suspect something is fishy I restart, rescan if it seems necessary, then even force various -addnodes to finally see if I can get confirmations and blocks to update in a more "rational" manner.  None of this had any effect today, hence I hit the boards here.

is there a way to have Deepbit pay 0.01 BTC transaction fee when auto-payment triggers?  I'm fine paying that especially if it helps alleviate this horrible lag spike in my daily quota / payment.  My little payment is now stuck way down the low priority queue.  ;-(
the low priority queue will be gone tomorrow. Smiley just chill and wait

Did you try to restart the bitcoin client?

There are 558 unconfirmed transactions (185936 bytes):

There are 484 low priority transactions.

-- You're somewhere in there...

"Got paid" from Deepbit this morning (10:00am EDT) and my bitcoin client is showing the transaction as still 0/unconfirmed.  It's now 2pm EDT.  I've never seen this before.  Similarly, nothing showing in block explorer.

My client has 24 connections and is currently on block 139476.
