Also Bitcoin appears to be broken already. Sending medium size (e.g. $50) transactions from localbitcoins to Bitpay invoice is not working.
Did you know it's against BitPay TOS to use their service as your own personal bitcoin exchange? Plus, I thought you didn't have any bitcoins,so how did you see that issue?
Also, I have sent at least 6 transactions with zero fees in the last 3 days with no issues. All confirmed just fine.
