It may take a lot longer to get a transaction with below-standard fees broadcast. Other nodes might refuse to relay it. Miners might discard it before they happen to find a block. If you aren't going to bribe others to do the work, you may need to do a lot more of it yourself.

Hmm, but I've had my fee set at 0.00 for quite a while now and haven't run into this issue before. Is there extra load on the system currently? Is there a way to cancel this transaction and redo it with a fee?

And, I would totally be willing to mine a block containing this transaction but I'm afraid my measly few cards will never mine a block on their own. Are you suggesting that I invest in a super-farm to process my own transactions? It would be neat if I could process transactions on the pool that I'm already a member of (btcguild).

Miners already have plenty of incentive to mine without fees being offered too, IMO, with the block rewards and all...

EDIT: Update: The transaction now has 3 confirmations.
