<p>You skimped on the mining fee (only 96 sat/byte). The miners will pickup other higher paying transactions in preference to yours. As mentioned above it is possible to send another transaction through with a higher fee. This is called double spend.</p>

<p>The Core developers have engineered this problem by restricting the blocksize thereby throttling the number of transactions per second that bitcoin can process.</p>

I can't find this client.  Do you see a "replace by fee" option in this client?  Can you share a link to download this client?
