Title: Fees: Long chains of unconfirmed transactions over single double spend.
Post by: cheako911 on February 01, 2015, 07:32:31 PM
Hello,
  Recently I broke weeklyponzi quite severally.  I had zero fee transactions and posted to the Ponzi a descendant.  The Ponzi created a huge chain of transactions with fees, quite a sum if added all up.

My VPS was restarted and I didn't notice until I'd double spent.  The erroneous transaction had a good fee and was confirmed, much to my disappointment.  I blame the mining software for not detecting the large payout from hundreds of transactions with fees over a single transaction fee.

It's something to look into.

The last transaction ID in the chain.
