I tried to send a bitcoin transfer Wednesday evening and it is still unconfirmed. It says "fees 0" but I have my block chain account set to "use recommended fee" by default. Can anyone help me get this confirmed? If greatly appreciate it!
Here it is: https://blockchain.info/tx/f054dbba378cea1b82168214cf28771f60c7cc30be0963b0b38498c7a0ec9166

There are two obvious reasons why your tx remains unconfirmed:
Most probably the tx will get invalidated by the network soon and the "spent" funds will return to your wallet.
In the meantime I would suggest you to be careful with spending unconfirmed outputs (there is an option to disable the spending of unconfirmed outputs in the bitcoin-core client) and avoid it whenever it's possible. Also, including the appropriate fee will make your tx much more likely to get confirmed soon by the network.

I've pushed this transaction. It will be confirmed soon (I hope in an hour). Next time do not spend unconfirmed outputs
ok, it confirmed :) – amaclin – 2015-03-27T17:52:15.723
Oh wow thank you. I didn't know there was an unconfirmed output! Please give me a bitcoin address for you so I can send you a tip or something, I greatly appreciate it! – Brandon – 2015-03-27T17:56:35.777
3Thank you. I do not collect donations and tips. I did it because I am able to do it :) Isn't it funny? – amaclin – 2015-03-27T18:07:20.477
I have the same problem, can you please tell me how you did @amaclin – N3RG4L – 2016-03-15T11:14:13.810
Are you using the blockchain.info wallet? – kaykurokawa – 2015-03-27T17:14:58.470
Yes, I am. Is that bad? – Brandon – 2015-03-27T17:22:29.480
@Brandon Not really. It is bad that one of the inputs to the transaction is unconfirmed, though. – Nick ODell – 2015-03-27T17:34:43.853
