Hi,
I was wondering if there is any documentation about the priority protocol when sending bitcoins. I sent 5 BTC 1,5 hrs ago and haven't got a single confirmation.
Yesterday I got the first confirmation for a small payment only after 8 hrs.
Both payments were made with transaction fees.
I'd like to understand the priority protocol better so that's why I'd like to know if there is a way to find out what priority a payment has.
Thank you!

In fact transactions fee have nothing to do with priority or not. So you can use the patch to remove fees from the current bitcoin client.
First confirmation after 8 hours, I never saw that... When you wait did you checked that site: http://www.bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/
will show you transactions (that he is aware of) unconfirmed and need to be processed. Also check at the bottom of your bitcoin client and make sure it's displaying X number of block equal to what are there: http://www.bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/
Hope this help
