Hello everyone. I am having a problem. After not using bitcoin for several years, I recently uploaded the entire block chain and attempted to pay 0.04461 bitcoin for a subscription. In my wallet, it says I sent the coins, but it is not on the block chain, nor does the transaction have any confirmations.
I included a transaction fee of 0.00001 BTC.
The transaction ID is 15385dbc5087008ff6622c6d525b6473951c778e4b11b5bfed7e6011c52b907e
I am using bitcoin QT version 4.8.3.
Also, at the top of my wallet I have an alert that says "URGENT: Alert Key compromise, upgrade required".
However, I have read from several sources that I can safely ignore that warning.
Does anyone know why my bitcoin transactions aren't reaching the block chain or going through? (It has now been 14 hours since I sent the bitcoin)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
I figured that was the culprit (the transaction fee)
I sent another transaction just 30 minutes ago and included a transaction fee of 0.001 this time. Still nothing on the block chain, nor any confirmations.
I will keep you guys updated.

Your transaction would reach the mempool whether a low fee or not.
The problem is that your txs have not been broadcasted and is likely related to your client.

Also, you can ignore the alert key warning. Bitcoin Core has discontinued the alert message system.
But if you are having trouble with your client, you may need to upgrade to a newer version since what
you are using now is so far back that many things have changed. If you wish to continue with your client,
you could manually push your raw txs from another source like this: https://blockchain.info/pushtx

I'm not an expert, but I'm sure AChow101 will come along and explain you need a newer client and why.
