Title: Are my transactions forever lost?

Hi guys.

So yesterday I sent to transactions through Blockchain.info. Both are still unconfirmed.
Here they are:

Are they lost forever? What happened here?

You forgot to pay fees (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees).

The site didn't ask about fees.
Is there nothing I can do now?

You need to pay fees for your transactions to go through. This is why bitcoin is advertised as having no fees.  Kinda like bitcoin is advertised as anonymous only it's totally not.

Good news!
They finally confirmed... It took almost a day, but they are finally through.
I'll remember the transaction fees from now.

Thank you all! :)

Transactions can take up to 5 days, after that you should start worrying.

Glad to see it has gone through! Sometimes can take up to 6 days if you do not pay a tx fee.
