I send several bitcoins from one wallet of mine to another, using the default bitcoin client, version .8.1
The client didn't ask me to include a fee and I didn't think to add one manually. It's now 2 hours later and the transaction is still sitting at 0 confirmations. I understand that it may EVENTUALLY go through when some generous pool wins a block and decides to include some 0 fee transactions. But, isn't it theoretically possible for me to simply double-spend those bitcoin, since they haven't actually be officially spent, and send the same transaction again, with a fee?
I just can't seem to figure out any way to fool the regular client into letting me do this. I'm a little bit afraid to go searching google for a hacked client that will allow double-spending, because it sounds like the exact sort of program favored for planting trojan infections.
Is there a possibility of doing what I want? Is there a legit tool or utility I can use to try to double-spend my coins? Or do I just need to wait it out, and get my coins when they come?
