WTF another Block and my transaction still not included !!!!! I didn't pay any fee thought....I missed 610 and 600 and now it is 592.... F#$% the free transaction
So you saved $0.06 and lost hundreds or thousands?
software didnt offer the option to pay fee, he said
I wasnt trying to be cheap the client didnt ask me for paying a fee because I met the conditions of free transaction, but it seems that there were other transactions with more priority
Technical infoTransaction priority is calculated as a value-weighted sum of input age, divided by transaction size in bytes:
priority = sum(input_value_in_base_units * input_age)/size_in_bytes
Transactions need to have a priority above 57,600,000 to avoid the enforced limit (as of client version 0.3.21). This threshold is written in the code as COIN * 144 / 250, suggesting that the threshold represents a one day old, 1 btc coin (144 is the expected number of blocks per day) and a transaction size of 250 bytes.
So, for example, a transaction that has 2 inputs, one of 5 btc with 10 confirmations, and one of 2 btc with 3 confirmations, and has a size of 500bytes, will have a priority of
(500000000 * 10 + 200000000 * 3) / 500 = 11,200,000
