-snip-  It does not particularly care. if you do 1 sat or 100 sat it does want. the fee to be.

 0.0001 or higher.  so if you have a send that has tons of bytes. and you add to over 0.0001 it works.

If the transaction has 250 bytes it won't work since you paid 0.0000250
-snip-
in fact you could pay 2 sats. and it would be 0.00025000 btc and be over the fee level for viabtc to work.
-snip-
Sorry for the -snip-~s but I'm sure Viabtc's free accelerator is accepting transactions based from the "Fee Rate" not the total paid fee.
In fact, it's written in their page:

Quote from: ViaBTC.com
1. Free Acceleration: No need to sign in, you can submit any TXID of delayed transactions that at least include a fee of 0.0001BTC/KB
0.0001BTC/KB or 10sat/B

Most likely, the problem with rejected 250Byte transaction with 10sat/B is because they have Witness data (SegWit transactions).
That's because ViaBTC is using the Bytes instead of vBytes for computing the feerate and SegWit transaction have lower 'vBytes' than the size (in Bytes) of the transaction.

But bitmover is still wrong with his "100sat/B" minimum.
