  • Insufficient fee
  • invalid transaction
  • poorly connected wallet
is there a list of such bad wallets to beware of? or a list of 100% good wallets?

Very, very low as long as you can access pretty much everything else on the internet[/li][/list]
what do you mean?

If there's a re-org and the transaction goes back into the mem-pool, would it be confirmed automatically later?
Almost certainly.  That's WHY it went back in the mem-pool instead of being deleted. However, in MOST cases, it will already be confirmed in the re-org.
so I can conclude that if I pay a solid fee amount and wallet is not faulty, the odds of the transaction being confirmed are > 99.99%?
and the say there's a re-org, which is also rare (1/2000 blocks? less?), then still, it will almost certainly be confirmed eventually
which would make the total odds extremely low.

Three weeks, because I INTENTIONALLY paid an insufficient transaction fee. I was not in a hurry, and just kept re-broadcasting the transaction until transaction fee requirements dropped.
which wallets can make you do that?
