Love the idea. Odds are good... 
I just bought the thing! "The all powerfull ORB" is mine! 

I'd like to store a portion of my accumulated bitcoins within one or more online wallets. I'm currently looking at Coinbase as an option. My short term goal is to intentionally diversify my online wallet(s). Specifically, I'd like to use ones that have an accessible API and a solid reputation. Or at least as solid as can be. It is easy enough to Google for them, but I'm having a hard time pinpointing the reputable ones.

Most likely low priority transactions:

• Using coins that haven't aged yet.
• Transferring extremely small amounts (less than 0.01 BTC).
• Transactions that have an unusually large number of inputs or outputs resulting in a transaction that requires more than 10,000 bytes.

And not paying enough of a fee for miners to consider it.

Many wallets will warn you if a fee is recommended.  What wallet are you using?

Sending and receiving bitcoin takes less than a few seconds.  It can take anywhere from a few more seconds to several days for those transactions to be confirmed depending on the fee you include and how soon a miner includes the transaction in a block.

Setting up a blockchain.info wallet should take less than two-and-a-half minutes (as you can see in the video).

The wallets are all the same speed when sending and receiving bitcoin.  If you want transactions to confirm faster, the sender needs to include a transaction fee.  All of the well known and used wallets provide a method for a sender to pay a fee.

No matter which wallet you are using you should see the bitcoin transferred within a few seconds, but they will have 0 confirmations until a miner includes them in a block.

Are you saying that they aren't transferring. or just that they aren't getting any confirmations?

I am experimenting with Bitmessage, a bitcoin-like messaging system https://bitmessage.org/. If anybody is interested in trying it out too, you can send a message to me at BM-or73ye64QJTQzzRVVUHympbqvhpPcZu2h

Not sure - patience I guess

I'm not sure if something is wrong - the "total time logged in" shows 5 hours and 16 minutes, so I assume I met the four hour requirement, but perhaps they count something else and not the "total time logged in" that the forum displays.

WOW this is probably why there are no girls around here LMAO

I added those because I noticed everyone else had addresses in their signatures and I figured why not. 

Anyway, my username here is BitcoinWIFE, not HotSexyBitcoinBabe4U, and I'm not selling porn or asking everyone to "invest" in something, so...

Whitelisted too.
