Title: Unconfirmed TX (sent with no fees)
Post by: bowen151 on March 25, 2013, 08:30:17 PM
How can we get a transaction confirmed that was broadcast without fees? Is there a way to have a miner include it in an upcoming block or is it not possible?

https://blockchain.info/tx/a75ef083b95b6e83ae0469ca467dc987cbc38e5044f6d9b08245948f50b9c2a8

It was sent by the person incharge of our group buy for avalon batch 3 so you can understand that this is quite an important tx that a few people would like to see go through  ???

Are there any options?

Here is a desription of what originally happened: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=158035.msg1675116#msg1675116

Erm.... I don't think there is a way to add a transaction fee after sending the transaction. You'll just have to wait...

You should be able to contact the people who run some of the larger mining pools and offer a bounty for including the transaction in a block.

You can verify that no node broadcasted the tx, then delete it from your wallet, then create the same tx but with fees
