How many confirmations on the input? Many pools still take coin age into account when including transactions in a block, it's not just a straight highest fee formula yet. (Despite any propaganda to the contrary to justify it's future removal).

i seriously doubt that. the priority formula is long dead.

my transaction spent 2 outputs both with less than 10 confirmation. as i said i am withdrawing from an exchange to (possibly) another exchange. and exchanges don't keep money around, it is spent right away.

Or the queue might have been short and there was no real wait for your transaction and it got in early.

the queue is called mempool and it has not been short both times. (currently at 62K)

It was a 100k+ so someone is actively working on eliminating the backlog and I think your timing were just spot on with this "cleanup" being

done. I think some of these miners are selectively mining around these spam attacks and your tx was just included in the blocks that are

being mined. Wink

.... I would not put it past these miners.. just look at what was did with ASICBOOST.
