Interesting. I've never really gotten into mining, so I haven't looked into the selection rules much yet. It doesn't select for highest fee (or highest fee per KB)? Does it just select most recent qualifying transaction regardless of the fee? Or is it some sort of random selection of qualifying transactions?
inclusion of transactions is based on the "priority" of the transaction, which factors in both the transaction fee, transaction size, and input age.

If that is true, then it is quite surprising seeing as there were plenty of transactions that were included in the blocks that only had a fee of 0.0005 BTC. Any miner that wants to increase their profits should be choosing your 0.001 BTC fee transaction over a 0.0005 BTC transaction.
Logicly, yes. But bear in mind that modification of the local selection rules requires both the technical ability to do so, and belief that it's worth the effort. IT's probably not yet worth the effort.

That depends on the size of the transaction. If it was more than 10 kb in size, then 0.001 BTC isn't a large enough fee.
I believe the limit in the reference client for relaying a transaction is 0.0001 BTC per kb.

i sent from blockchain.info wallet and that one adjusts fees how it feels correct there.
I thought the minimum fee to be regarded as a fee paying transaction was .005 BTC. That's what my client defaults to, anyway.
i had a small tx with 0.001 fee and waiting for 5 blocks now and it never got included.
is this just bad luck or is it normal by now??
