Can you add a fee to a transfer AFTER you have sent it out?

[iheartbitcoin]

Basically, I'm a newbie and didn't understand the concept of tipping .0005 bitcoins per transaction.

I sent out a transaction from Blockchain > Bitfloor for 24 bitcoins and it is at 1% network propogation

Is there a way for me to cancel it?  It's suck with 0 confirmations and I would like to resend it with a tip!

anyone?

I'm getting worried that I won't receive my bit coins.

or even the possibility of rebroadcasting it?

It will be included eventually. AFAIK it's too late to change anything about that TX.

The bitcoins will be confirmed sooner or later, I had to wait days for a confirmation before.

[iheartbitcoin]

okay, that makes me feel at ease knowing that.

thanks guys! loving the community so far

[edd]

Looks like it finally got confirmed.

[iheartbitcoin]

yup!

one last question, what would you guys advise the tip be for a transaction of this size next time?

I'm still a newbie but from my experience, you don't choose the transaction fee, the software sets it for you.

The standard 0.0005 does it

I think the reference implementation sets the TX fees for you automatically based on the size and age of the content. There might be other implementations of the clients that allows a more customized settings for giving transaction fees.

AFAIK it's too late to change anything about that TX.

At some point a feature that was developed might be included in a release such that if the recipient of the funds wants to help a transaction get confirmed there is a way to help nudge it -- by spending the received funds and including a fee.    That way for the miner goes for the transaction with the fee but has to include the parent transaction that hadn't confirmed.

So there's solutions, just nothing running today.
