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?
I recently done the same thing from my core wallet, which wasn't very successful, i think that no fee transactions have been assigned to the annuals of bitcoin history. i ended up having to do a -zapwallettxs which also didnt work well as other nodes then informed my node of the transaction again. i had to eventually carry out a double spend with a good fee to sort it out. worked a treat.
