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.


The problem as far as I understand it is that miners get to decide whether they include a transaction in a block, and they can decide this entirely arbitraly. Of course, transaction fees should be an incentive to include transactions in their block, but nothing forces them to do so.

@BTCrow : you need to document yourself before posting...
