We need nodes so payments can get processed!
Payments are processed by the generation of blocks, which is done by miners. Client nodes have no impact on the way payments are processed.Hush. This thread was full of awesome.

woot my confirmations just spiked
I'm still waiting on my first confirm on that 1.02 BTC transaction (from Deepbit).
The transaction started at 11:00 AM (central time) -- it's currently 8:16!
Something is definitely wrong.
And has anyone else noticed that BlockExplorer is down?

Yeah I started mine at 4:32 PM EST, received it in my wallet at 7:19 PM EST. It's now 10:47 PM EST and it still has 0 confirmations. But I do have 8 connections. I don't understand why today transactions are taking so long.

all fine and well , but for some of us on small/slow plans/connections we cant afford the constant 100% upload usage. plus ive even had it keep uploading after ive closed the client !? i had to disconnect from the internet to stop the invisible open connections from chewing 
but someone mentioned 'netlimiter' for windows that you can use to limit a program to say 5kb up, so ive installed it so i can start running the client again.
also in related topic check out http://www.getblockchain.com/ for a download archive of the current block chain (quicker than waiting on the client to fetch it)

Yeah I've been having this problem all day. I posted here about it: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=16461.0
It's really quite annoying when you need the coins right away.

Mining isn't everything. The more people have the Bitcoin client open, the easier it is to send/receive payments -- and that benefits EVERYONE, including YOU. You send/receive payments, don't you? (to cash in your Bitcoins, if nothing else)

It's important to forward the port (8333) if you do this. Nodes which don't listen can't connect to each other and contribute much less to the health of the network— especially with the influx of new users.
Also make sure you're running .22 or (better) .23-rc1: the newer versions are more permissive about relaying low/no fee transactions.
If that's true, I certainly hope he goes back to his old setting.
You'd think Tycho could afford .0005 per transfer at least... I mean, come on!

what txfee does deepbit set on it's outbound transfers? If it's putting 0 then it's going to take a long time... in fact, I sent some BTC to myself with a 0 txfee and it's still showing unconfirmed for me after about seeing 30 blocks solved... that's the way it's supposed to work.

I have a 4.05 BTC withdrawal in limbo from deepbit. It hasn't moved for hours.
How does having more nodes decrease the time to have a peyment confirmed? Afaik, confirmation time is a function of tx fee, number of pending transactions.
Me also.. abonormally long for a single confirm, but, its probably normal
Blocks are still being created just fine. Your problems are not related to a lack of mining power.
