I initiated the trans using 2.7.11 windows standalone exe. Preferences set to RBF, and I checked RBF box when I sent it. Showed as Replaceable. No confirmations after a couple hours so I right-click and try to increase the fee - it brings up a new window, and I click sign, key in pass, then click broadcast. It popped with an error (don't remember which). So I closed and opened 2.7.12, and eventually in 2.7.14. Last two versions I tried both return:
error: The transaction was rejected by network rules. (258: txn-mempool-conflict)
Not all nodes accept Opt-in RBF transactions. Only Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 and above allow for Opt-in RBF, even though disabled by default.
Try using another server instead.
