Don't know if this is the right place to put this...

Sent a transfer on Bitcoin QT transfer without any transaction fee by accident... I didn't realise that you have to manually set one.

Is it possible to contact a miner with a transaction number and offer a reward for the mining of this to save me waiting 3/4 weeks?

It's in the blockchain yeah, so just hold tight? Thanks for the help

How do I check the blockchain?

I recently sent a transaction of around 3BTC with Bitcoin-QT (5.2.1) ((MAC OSX))

This was my first transaction and I was unaware that QT did not force a transaction fee, it was subsequently sent with 0.

Is this likely to be picked up at all? If not could someone give me a step by step on the proceedure of using Pywallet or similar to recover my bitcoin?

I do not have a full grasp for the jargon and could do with a 'Bitcoin Transaction Recovery for Dummies' style reply.

Any help is appriciated!
