There's a large transaction which hasnt been mined because it depends on some unconfirmed transactions that had no transaction fee.
So it'll be confirmed, just not relatively soon. I take it there are some maths around the size of the transaction to the size of the transaction fee to give a roughly estimated confirmation time?
Yes, but since there was some sort of security breach, they may want it to go through as quickly as possible. Assuming that is the case, would the method I described work to get the majority of the funds through quickly. Note that I have nothing to do with these guys, I'm just curious.
