Such bad advice on fees from staff here.
If you pay more than the minimum relay fee (currently 0.00005), and a little bit more than the estimated fee for confirmation in 25 blocks (estimatefee 25) then your transaction will get included in a block within an hour or two, almost guaranteed.
"almost guaranteed". In the past , yes. Now and in the near future, probably not.
And if it is not, then your transaction is stuck for as long as it takes.
This is exactly the sort of fee Lauda calls spam. (or at least tells people it is not a high enough fee, in most cases)
Fine if you don't mind waiting it out.
Free transactions (the ones without a tx fee) still get included provided the priority is very high.
Most coins of course will not have this high priority rating.
Free transactions are (usually) spam. (ask Lauda)
Most free transactions will not get broadcast, or will be dropped from the mempool in a few days.
Anyone using Dabs advise will run into delays.
And Lauda will tell you it is your own fault for not paying correct fees.
