Can you send ether with zero gasprice?

[ryap12]

I saw an Eth transaction with zero fee. I was looking for the answer how to do that.

Why risk your nerves and time? I always put the price for a transaction a little more expensive than the average price. I save time and nerves. Is this a bad investment?

I was just curious how the person made the 0 transaction fee.

I think you need your own node so that you can add your transactions. I managed to broadcast a zero fee transaction, but until today it wasn't mined.

Asking if you can send ETH with 0 gas price is basically like asking if you can drive a car with no petrol,it's just impossible.. Gas is what powers transactions in the Ethereum network and it is a fundamental need when you want to push a transaction in the blockchain.

[trudovik]

I think that this will not be possible, in any case, you need to give something as a commission, because the reward to the miners is still needed, and without it no one will work out this transaction, as far as I know, ethereum does not have any pendulous transactions like bitcoins.

[bitcoinhunter1221]

That transaction could possibly be pending until the last day of people's existence. That's impossible to send with a zero gas price. It's just like drinking from an empty glass.

No miner wants to process your tx for free basically.

[AVAMONEY]

I think you cannot, based on my experience since I also asked the same question and tried testing this myself. The Ethereum call code assigns a non-zero value, so even if you send zero Ether to another account, it costs min gas of 21000, at least on MyEtherWallet. Contracts on Ethereum network have to be confirmed by miners and you have to pay for it, this is different from Bitcoin blockchain. If you don't have enough gas, you won't even be able to execute.

Anyone can share any experience with a different wallet?

Different wallet has option to set custom fees, it can set even to zero gas, but i worried if that coin will not arriving success.
But i have one experience when sending some Eth and set with very low gas about 3000, after waiting few days, the transaction was being unsuccessful and balance return to my wallet with tx reason are less gas cost to complete this transaction.

[keycellko]

No. It is not possible. Because basically gas is like a transaction fee. Its what miners get for making transactions go through. Without that your transactions will not be confirmed. I tried doing that using mew bht it said something like not enough gas to process transaction.

[bibitao19]

Before the Crypto Kitties put the blockchain down, almost all transactions with 0.1 gwei were successful. Now it's not possible to sent tokens or ETH with such low price, as you'll immediately will get an error: "Transaction underpriced" and you'll just spend your ETH for  gas.

I also think so and completely agree with you, because if there is a transaction, that is the translation of some tokens, then a commission in the form of gas is absolutely necessary, and free shipping I think it is impossible.

[Katya91a]

All "0" the price of gas never stevio seems to me not to pass a transaction... And so the minimum of "4" put the price of gas, the transaction took place without any problems and the price of the transaction was very small

[keycellko]

Well, i think it will not go through or will receive an error. I even tried sending eth at minimum gas price of 41 and it still gives me an errorr, how much more zero. The error said that its not enough gas price because of the load of transactions pending at that very hour. Its not always like that, it just depends on the traffic. It advises to check https://ethgasstation.info for the gas price that will allow your transaction to go through.

According to https://ethgasstation.info/predictionTable.php the 99% Confidence Confirm Time is the same for 0 Gwei and 0.1 Gwei gas price. Can you send your transaction with a zero gas price or will you get an error?

I think you can't send eth with 0 Gwei. gas is the payment for transaction. without it no miners will mine your transaction. better put 4gwei safe and low fees.

I agree. This is exactly what my friend told to me, although I haven't tried it out yet. I have a few successful transactions to my wallet with very low GWEI (2 to 3), but constant gas (21,000).

actually that is a foolish comparison!
a car requires gas/petrol and without it the car won't run. but a transaction is processed by a miner and the miner can choose to ask for gas/fee or do it for free. in other words it IS possible to send a transaction with 0 gas and even have it confirmed.
in fact if you read the topic before posting you can see someone posted the link to a bunch of transactions that have been confirmed with 0 gas https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2554655.msg34048631#msg34048631

I just do with a zero gas price when I transfer ETH from one Myetherwallet to another Myetherwallet. It also needs a few time to wait. Will not be immediately when you use a little Gwei

[Volk-05]

Without gwei, you will not succeed, as it is necessary for conducting transactions.

[seumk]

I can see the way to send 0ETH to get the airdrop in the near future, but I think it should be that you don’t send your trade at zero gasoline price, because the miners package the transaction is to charge, which is obviously not in line with common sense.

[ryap12]

To those who said it's IMPOSSIBLE to make a transaction without gas or 0 gwei. Say hellp to this wallet. The owner has been stealing erc20 tokens with gas set to 0. What can you say to these examples? I'm guessing the owner mined his/her own transactions? I would really love to find out how he/she did it.

No one said it is possible but the thing is that the transactions that are being made with gwei will be mined first before yours so you would have to wait for a while for your transaction to confirm. We all know that the higher the gas price then the faster the transaction time. You can send ether from one myetherwallet to another without using gas.
