Post by: Avgust Albertson on April 22, 2013, 08:29:27 AM
Who knows are there any pools or large miners running “child pays for parent” patch?

None that I'm aware of, but I sincerely hope that miners (and pools) will begin implementing this functionality soon.  It would be more profitable for them, and significantly improve the usability of Bitcoin.

Do you have a link to any information stating that this is true, or is it just something you think you heard someone say somewhere once?

note that some miners (eligius) implement a "child pays for parent" policy:

There's also some info on the Eligius website, that's all I could find.

More intuitively, it could be called "receiver pays for sender." If a transaction lacks a transaction fee where it'd be able to be processed in a timely manner, the receiver ("child") can pay the tx fee so it'll be processed faster (or at all).

Does it mean that it would lead to another Tx in reality ? I mean to say, if Tx A has 0 mining fee and Tx B is using the o/p of Tx A, then Tx B can pay the miner fee for Tx A & Tx B to get them accepted fast ?

Pretty much so.
The ideal situation is that the miners will not consider the transaction one by one, but the whole chain of unconfirmed transactions.
