This is:  @s{(link)}#issue/86 @p{par}

currently (2011/03/01) a backlog of transactions that dont seem make it into blocks is building up (according to ArtForz now 670 transactions). @p{par}

People are starting to complain, see @p{(link}@s{(link)}#msg57031@p{link)} for an example. @p{par}

This was discussed on #bitcoin-dev @p{par}

ArtForz@s{gt} that tx should have a score of 20567855 @p{brk}
ArtForz@s{gt} so it falls short of the dPriority @s{gt} COIN * 144 / 250 test @p{brk}
ArtForz@s{gt} and as tx size is @s{gt} 4000, fAllowFree is never true for it @p{brk}
theymos@s{gt} Ah. So it will never confirm? @p{brk}
ArtForz@s{gt} probably not @p{par}

ArtForz@s{gt} looks like the tx-sending code needs some fixing @p{brk}
molecular@s{gt} like not generate a tx with a score too low, or suggest to add a fee? @p{brk}
ArtForz@s{gt} yep @p{brk}
ArtForz@s{gt} check size and priority of transaction, if it's @s{gt} 4kB and score @p{lt} 57600000 require min fee @p{brk}
ArtForz@s{gt} maybe reduce the size limit to 3.5k or so, otherwise it can only get into an otherwise empty block @p{par}

Maybe the transaction cache should not be unlimited? @p{brk}
