Title: NO TX FEE PAID
Post by: Knocks on January 11, 2014, 01:57:47 PM
Hi, I dun goofed and did the quick send option on Blockchain.info (first time using it)

I sent 0.1 to my localbitcoin account and it didn't include a fee and I thought it would :S

Will it go though, is there a way to add a fee?

it will go through, will just take some longer.. 30 minutes to like 8 hours usually.

Why didnt you pay a tx fee, adding one wont do much harm, and it gets there faster, and safely. Lowers the risk of losing them forever actually.

I was experimenting feeless transaction before. One took 48hours and one took just 2 minutes. I found out later on that free transactions has a priority score system, if your coins are large amounts and have been sitting around for ages, it will have a high priority, while your coins are lots of small amounts received in just days, your transaction may take forever to confirm.

Do you have the tx code? Post it here so others can take a look

Depends on priority. Which in turn depends on number, amount and age of inputs. (Read how exactly here (http://bitcoinfees.com/) or here (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_fees)).

1) May get confirmed in next block.
2) May get confirmed in a while (2h to a week).
3) May never get confirmed.

You can try to send the same funds again with a fee included, rendering the previous tx a double spend. Don't think that's possible on Blockchain though.

It ended up getting picked up by a GHASH.IO mined block after missing 3-4 blocks. took around 50 mins for the first confirmation.
