Meh.
I HATE paying fees. Especially cause I'm this poor

And anyway, I've done a ton of low priority transactions, with no fee, and they've been all much faster.

the minimum fee is 0.005 BTC. that's 50 cents. how can you not pay that fee?

most pools love fee's, not because it helps the miners but because the pool owners 'cut' is the fee and he then gives near on all of the 25btc to the workers.

i personally think mining pool owners should have their own miners working along side other miners for their 'cut' and then not be so greedy.

Fee's should not be something that is essential for transactions just yet. especially when they end up being more then a few penny's worth, instead people should be accepting the reward alone as their reward and only require fee's in a few years, when the rewards are super small.

There was no fee, so you're only chance is to get in by priority. You tried to spend an output which was only 2 days old and only 1BTC. Priority is calculated as age*amount, so there's going to be lots more transactions with higher priority which come before yours. So your only chance is to get lucky where a couple of quick blocks in a row flush out all the waiting transactions, or you have to wait for your inputs to get older so your priority increases sufficiently.

Most miners allow a certain amount of free transactions per block (I think it's based on cumulative size), so you just have to wait until someone decides your tx is going to go into that space. Also remember nobody has an obligation to mine your transaction at any speed for any price. The higher the fee, the more likely they will do it quickly though.

Is it me, or am I going crazy?
I just had a 225 byte transaction take 1273 minutes to confirm. That's over 21 hours. For a 225 byte transaction.
TXID is 52323d47079e8bbac8680313cba02f60b77395bd77bda33e9a750fdda689f537. Somebody, please enlighten me Cheesy
