SO what's the deal. I use bitcoin-qt 10.1. Doesn't it include the fee required that makes the transaction confirm within the next block?
In the interest of actually answering the question posed here, not so much as troll fodder, but rather to educate anyone who might be perusing the thread...
Bitcoin Core 0.10.1 certainly gives you plenty of options for controlling your transaction fees:

Setting the transaction fee does not guarantee transaction confirmation within the next block. It simply makes the transaction more or less enticing for miners. I guarantee you do something ridiculous like set a transaction fee of 100
BTC you're going to be in the next block

. Barring doing something like that, setting a proper transaction fee will
usually get you into the next block, but it's not a guarantee.
