I just sent some btc from blockchain. unfortunately the TX was sent with no fees.
I don't think it will confirm is there a way to add a fee to the transaction? thanks.

nope. bc.i will "return" it after a while, just wait.

that will take 48hrs. there's still some change from the tx Ive just tried sending some of the changer with a fee I hope it works

Child pays for parent might work, yes. Esp since the number of unconfirmed tx is pretty low currently.

I'm sure there's a way to do it. just it would take the whole day to find. it just that all my btc is on the adddress and ill be loosing 0.1 per day till its refuded

Well, technically you can try to double spend the initial transaction by creating a new one. You will have a hard time to get your TX broadcasted to the miners though. Most nodes will not relay a transaction that is spending an input that is allready part of a known transaction (confirmed or not does not matter).
You would also need to export the needed private key(s) from bc.i into another wallet in order to create the TX in the first place.

I have no idea why you would not pay a fee for a TX that is vitaly important to you, but everything you can do now is very messy and might result in more problems.

thanks shorena for your input.
I think its safety not to try a double spend.

I guess ill have to wait 48hrs
thanks for ur input.

I send btc a lot of times without fees and they always get confirmed. Maybe btc just need to be old enough for this, but I don't care as long it is working without problems.
