Title: Transaction Without Fee - Process Time?
Post by: WhatsUpFreak on June 21, 2013, 04:24:57 PM
I placed a transaction without a fee, by accident, and it has not confirmed for 2 days whilst resting at 0% network propagation according to BlockChain.info. What is the usual process time for a tx without a fee?

It really depends.

I sent several transactions without fees in the past and all of them were picked up by the blockchain within an hour or so.

Interesting...I wouldn't have thought it would take this long, it is a little disconcerting considering the transaction amounts. Hopefully they will be process soon. I have heard of instances in which it took upwards of weeks to process...

The was processed early this morning, taking slightly more than 3 days. Now I know to always include a miner's fee. The smallest output was less than 5 BTC.

Then everything's okay?

usually takes around an hour.
