Title: Newbie question about disconnecting node Post by: Bernard Lerring on July 17, 2014, 07:17:03 AM What happens to transactions when I close down my node?
Say I have 12 connections (8 in, 4 out) and I have to reboot my PC due to a kernel update or whatever. If I close down my node at the exact time someone is using it for a 255kb BTC transaction then will their Tx just be rerouted through another node? Is their Tx interrupted or lost? Does bitcoin-QT or bitcoind temporarily halt system shutdown while it clears any current TX's? Just curious, really. :) Title: Re: Newbie question about disconnecting node Post by: Lieji on July 17, 2014, 09:14:22 AM What happens to transactions when I close down my node?

Yeah, it's basically like a huge expanding net, all connected to each other. If one fails, no problem, others have your tx, since your tx has already spread through the network. |
