Post by: Quickseller on December 03, 2016, 02:07:44 AM Can you post the txid? This will at least allow others to tell you what the chances are that your transaction will confirm.
FYI - unless you flagged your original transaction to be RBf, nodes will by default reject a double spend as long as they have the transaction in their memempool ((this may very depending on a number of things).

Just FYI, a Replace-By-Fee transaction means you change the fee in the same transaction to the same receiver to be confirmed faster. You say "scam" so I guess you are looking for a different kind of thing. Title: Re: Need to do a RBF as soon as possible! Sent .2575 bitcoin to scam. please help!

Since he was referring to it as a scam then he may have wanted someone to do a double spend for him and send this amount to another wallet of his. There are a few people here who can help with that, but I guess it's too late now as at least 3 days have passed. TX id is absolutely needed by the way for anyone to be able to help. |
