Title: Can you add a fee to a transfer AFTER you have sent it out? Post by: iheartbitcoin on April 03, 2013, 11:42:23 PM Basically, I'm a newbie and didn't understand the concept of tipping .0005 bitcoins per transaction.
I sent out a transaction from Blockchain > Bitfloor for 24 bitcoins and it is at 1% network propogation :( Is there a way for me to cancel it? It's suck with 0 confirmations and I would like to resend it with a tip! ty :) https://blockchain.info/address/1LrfwgeGvG9TAL7j9X66hdeVoSj4FmL26Q Title: Re: Can you add a fee to a transfer AFTER you have sent it out?

I'm getting worried that I won't receive my bit coins. ty!! or even the possibility of rebroadcasting it? Title: Re: Can you add a fee to a transfer AFTER you have sent it out?

one last question, what would you guys advise the tip be for a transaction of this size next time? Title: Re: Can you add a fee to a transfer AFTER you have sent it out? Post by: countryfree on April 04, 2013, 12:41:17 AM I'm still a newbie but from my experience, you don't choose the transaction fee, the software sets it for you.

Post by: agnostic98 on April 04, 2013, 12:46:12 AM I think the reference implementation sets the TX fees for you automatically based on the size and age of the content. There might be other implementations of the clients that allows a more customized settings for giving transaction fees.

At some point a feature that was developed might be included in a release such that if the recipient of the funds wants to help a transaction get confirmed there is a way to help nudge it -- by spending the received funds and including a fee. That way for the miner goes for the transaction with the fee but has to include the parent transaction that hadn't confirmed. So there's solutions, just nothing running today. |
