Topic: large portion of network rejecting transactions? (Read 790 times)
I used Electrum 1.7.1 (windows) for that transaction. A week or so ago I had serious problems with any version of Electrum not updating the wallet properly for several days, but apparently these incidents were not related.
Which wallet app are you using, by the way?
to be sure a transaction will go through quickly a fee of about 0.001BTC pretty much guarantees it'll get mined in a block or two these days.
Thanks, this answered my question, hope it helps OP also.
Transaction volume was very high earlier today - your transaction had a relatively low fee given it's size, so it was probably just being outbid for blockchain space by transactions that paid a higher fee/kb. (your wallet uses uncompressed addresses, which are bigger, which doesn't help)
I don't know if your wallet software/service lets you set fees, but in the future if you want to be sure a transaction will go through quickly a fee of about 0.001BTC pretty much guarantees it'll get mined in a block or two these days.

Don't see anything strange there any more, it got confirmed properly after skipping over 4-5 blocks
What does the queue position mean? I am supposing blocks are filled up with higher priority transactions, and during a run of several long block intervals many pending transactions not get included in blocks. I was however surprised that a 0.25 BTC transaction with 0.0001 fee was considered low priority and delayed over 5 blocks. Thus my question of whether a higher fee amount would help anything or is it not a prioritization issue at all.

You really need to provide more data, like a transaction ID (better, full hex of the transaction in question, but a TXID would be a start). Also, it's helpful to know where it was sent from and if possible what software it was using.
I am experiencing delays of several blocks before a single confirmation for decent amount transfers with 0.0001 fee. Does the fee amount have anything to do with this postponing of confirmations? Blockchain.info shows Estimated Confirmation Time 4 minutes (queue position 76)
It would always be helpful to include a problematic transaction id or two so that folks can see what the actual problem is and not have to guess.
The network generally rejects non-economical dust outputs now. This affects things like faucets etc where the faucet amounts often cost more in fees for the recipient to spend than they actually received.

Hello
I am having bad luck doing commerce as my transactions randomly take a long time to go through from my local bitcoin client and transactions sometimes rejected, I see some weird anomalies sometimes and of course coinbase always takes forever.
It makes me wonder if a large portion of the new unknown miners are rejecting transactions due to a previously less common implementation of bitcoin and not prioritizing based on the fees
just a heads up and insight appreciated
