I am trying to send a transaction here, via Electrum

https://blockchain.info/tx/579a40803ceec7da240272083ff709d42e3f5fa078055164afa6c39ba637fd6d

but it is stuck for 10 hours in "unconfirmed" state. While I might have given larger fee and I know 0.0001 is relatively low, it is non-zero, and most zero fees transactions are confirmed more quickly.

What struck me as weird is - the transaction is not propagated through the network at all

there are few relays, but really a few. But the transaction is still "alive" somehow - I can still see it relayed by few relays even after 10 hours. But it's still just that - unconfirmed, staying in this weird state.

What is going on? Is 10 hours normal when I wrote lower fee? It's a little frustrating (because I can't "cancel it and send it with higher fee" at the moment, I have to just.. wait).

edit: wow, after 10 hours, I finally start getting the confirmations. This is wild.
