Ok, so i just have to wait? Rougly how much time? (days, weeks, centuries...). Thank you, i'm more relaxed now...

Generally if the transaction doesn't confirm within 3 days or so, blockchain.info will stop broadcasting the transaction.  As long as nobody else re-broadcasts the transaction, blockchain.info will drop the transaction and return the funds to your wallet.
 
How can i correctly calculate the fees the next time?

The blockchain.info wallet should calculate the correct fee for you unless you use "custom transaction".  If you use "custom transaction" and you don't know what you're doing, you are likely to pay insufficient fees and have this problem.

also, do i need fees to move btc between different addresses of my blockchain wallet?

Yes.



Thank you for the explanation. I used the custom transaction 'cos i needed to send money to 3 wallets and wanted to minimize the fee, now i know it don't work like that (a formula for calculating the fees would be nice tough). I also used to store my money in many different address for inventary purpouse, now i know it's not a good thing for fees issues when i want to transfer money.

There is a section on the bitcoin wiki about the transaction fees, but after reading it I still have no idea how it works. There are no calculators either.

Your blockchain wallet means nothing. You are simply controlling various addresses from the same place.
If you do 1 to 1 or 2 to 2 transactions, (1 input, 1 output or 2 input, 2 output) you can add a fee of 0.001BTC, and it should work with no problems.
But in your case it is a 4 to 4 transaction, and you should use the default setting to send them.

blochchain.info online wallet.

I would prefer not to mess things up more, but there's no way to "pump" the transaction?

No, you cannot add more fees to an existing transaction. You should always use the recommended fee of the blockchain.info wallet, unless you are sending to 1 person only.

When you say "i have no idea" you mean that it could be mounths/years/centuries? If so, i for sure need a fix

I have no idea how long you will have to wait. What client are you using?

I see why. It is because your transaction has many inputs and many outputs.
If you don't understand, it means you are sending the bitcoins from many addresses to many other destinations.

It should eventually confirm, but it's difficult to know when. You should've paid more fees.

Hi,

This sunday i've sent a transaction to 3 different addresses using my blockchain.info wallet using 0.0001 commissions (i thought it was enough, was i wrong?). Today the transaction is still not confirmed, and propagation is very low (2 nodes).

What should i do now? Someone told me to rescan my wallet but i can't 'cos i used a blockchain.info account
