No Transaction Fee, No Confirmations?

[thionine]

So ive been wondering for a while, if i were to send lets say 500 transactions to the smallest probability bet on SatoshiDice individually with a php script or some such method and for the sake of saving what amounts to a fair percent of the money sent, didnt include a transaction fee on any of them, would they ever get included in the blockchain? or would they float around until someone decided to accept them into a block they've mined? If so, how long would that typically take and what would be the outcome if i included a miniscule fee instead (.00001 or some such number)?




Thanks a bunch,

that's the same thing (1 question asked 2 different ways)

i'm going to take a complete guess: ~10 days without tx fees, ~3 days with them.

I guess it is. and the 'with them' you are refering to is with the miscule fee?

yeah, if you put a standard 0.0005 fee, they might go through in 24 hours... no guarantees though... tiny amounts are slow.
