I talked to an Eligius admin and he said the zero-fee TXs I generated with brainwallet weren't in their mempool or even personal bitcoind, considerably after the push time. Had to double-spend them to get them to relay outside of the apparent blockchain.info black hole.

This is new behavior, because before this week, zero-fee TXs were confirming within 1 hour. I don't know if it's brainwallet, blockchain.info, switching to 0.8.1, or all of the above that's responsible for the behavior. ETA: apparently I had done all my previous TXs with old enough inputs to meet the priority limit, or be within a few confirms of it, and just this week I started breaking bad without realizing there's been a priority limit this whole time.

Maybe there needs to be a warning not to zero-fee out <24hr received coin, if the brainwallet or /pushtx code isn't modified to calculate priorirty and alert on it.

I'll just set to 0.0005 BTC for now (b685a2e).
