It works by first sending the transaction through a random "stem" path of nodes before "fluffing" it out to the wider network, so that the
A Monero transaction can appear stuck pending for several common reasons, most of which you can diagnose and resolve yourself. The primary causes are an insufficient fee, a low priority setting, a remote node that is slow or out of sync, or a wallet that has not fully synchronized. Here is how to id
