As of Bitcoin Core 0.9, transactions which do not count as high-priority transactions
need to pay a [minimum fee][]{:#term-minimum-fee}{:.term} of 10,000 satoshis to be
broadcast across the network. Any transaction paying the minimum fee
need to pay a [minimum fee][]{:#term-minimum-fee}{:.term} (currently 1,000 satoshis) to be
broadcast across the network. Any transaction paying only the minimum fee
should be prepared to wait a long time before there's enough spare space
in a block to include it. Please see the [verifying payment section][section verifying payment]
for why this could be important.
