Title: Transaction Propagation
Post by: Razick on May 24, 2013, 03:25:24 AM
Hello,

I sent a transaction from my Android Bitcoin wallet a couple of days ago without a fee (since feeless transactions seem to be getting confirmed quickly as of late), but it wasn't propagating aross the network properly.

Today I reset the blockchain and did a double spend with a fee this time, but it's not propagating either. Every once in awile the transactions seem to get up to 10% / 100 nodes or so, but before long, the nodes start declining and end up at 1-2 nodes.

First of all, it seems to me nodes must be rejecting the transaction for some reason, otherwise I would expect quick propagation after it gets a foothold in the network, right? I sent a payment from Mt.Gox (obviously well connected) and it was almost fully propagated within a minute. What's going on here? Why isn't the transaction propagating?

transactionID of each of the two transactions?  Can't really answer your question without being able to analyze the specific transactions you are asking about.
