Title: How long will it take for no-fee transaction to confirm? Post by: Smt923 on March 24, 2013, 05:40:01 PM So I accidentally paid someone with what I think is a payment with 0 fees at all and it's stuck on this:

Edit: Forgot to say this was 2-3 hours ago, though it's jumped up too https://i.imgur.com/7OIfQtN.png now so maybe this thread was useless :c Title: Re: How long will it take for no-fee transaction to confirm? Post by: vnon on March 24, 2013, 05:58:40 PM It depends...
Miners can/do prioritize transactions that have fees since that means more money for them if it is included in the block. Each block has a size limit (I don't remember what it is,1mb?) so if the number of transactions > block size limit, feeless transactions are the first to be left out of the block. Just going off anecdotal experience, I would expect your free transaction to process in a few hours. It just depends on how busy the network is, and then after your transaction has been included, how quickly new blocks are found to confirm.
