I sent .05 BTC over 3 hours ago now, and it is still not showing up on blockchain.info or blockexplorer.com.  Shows pending in the client, and 0 confirmations on the website I sent it to.  Transaction ID ec992a35d33df73c2e2382e8fe156f8d42fb537b14f83c12daefd0a085ee6b28
Should have went to 15Vzuez85UEvRMzD1M1ypWBFDDd2VgsJCW

I of course sent the regular fee.  I do have an incoming transaction, unconfirmed of .5 BTC that was sent to me without fee so that is normal to take a while, but electrum is only supposed to send confirmed funds so that can't be it.

Transactions getting sent from electrum have been slow for me since it got stuck on that block.

I know sometimes poop happens and confirmations take a while, but I've always seen it on blockchain or blockexplorer without confirmations. 

Also, I'm kind of confused how the website could see it, but not blockchain/blockexplorer.

Most Electrum servers have been patched ; the few remaining ones have been kicked from the IRC channel, so that they are not in the list of servers displayed in the clients.

The transaction you were talking about is now confirmed and visible in blockchain.info.
If it was not visible in blockchain.info when you posted, it is probably because it used unconfirmed inputs; blockchain.info does not display such transactions

That's what I was leaning towards, using unconfirmed inputs.  I could swear I read somewhere that electrum picks confirmed coins first though.  At the time of sending, only 12% of my balance was unconfirmed, then I sent only 1.02% of my balance, 10% of the unconfirmed.  It seems silly that it would pick any of the unconfirmed coins. 

Right after posting, I tested and sent first .01 then 1.00 BTC to a blockchain wallet, and those transactions went normally.  So I can send 1 BTC without touching unconfirmed inputs.

I guess I'll read up on the console later, to see if I can find a way to pick what coins I send.

Thanks for checking on that for me.
