I deliberately created the no-fee transaction http://blockr.io/tx/info/74ccfd796cf2cb404a2245f699fd0e5cdf2a3a6b8a7b9cf1169ff2f87c124557 from my Armory wallet in order to see how long it would take to be confirmed into the blockchain. https://bitcoinfees.21.co/ indicates something like 23-Inf blocks but the number is some sort of best case scenario. I think maybe some/most/all miners aren't bothering to include any no-fee transactions in the reserved section of blocks anymore. I asked the 21.co guys and they said they might try to improve that portion of their fee reporting page. I'm going to leave the transaction alone a while longer to see if it goes through as long as blockr.io still sees it and doesn't drop it.

I don't think so but will my Armory wallet eventually timeout or something automatically or will I have to take deliberate steps to rectify the situation?

Hey, what do you know, it went through. So, some no-fee transactions are still getting through eventually. Mine only took 11 days.

VERY interesting to note that it still is possible for a 0-fee tx to confirm. In fact, I had tried late last year also for testing purposes but my Electrum wallet didn't allow 0 fees. I sent 1 sat per kb fee in total and it only took several days. Did you leave your wallet open (as it might have rebroadcasted the tx)? I thought such txs would eventually be forgotten?
