Hi there,
I have a feature request for Bitcoin Core. (I'm not a programmer, so I am unable to contribute technical skills to getting this implemented. I can just type up my feature request here.
)
I recently lost $1 worth of BTC, because one of my transactions got permanently stuck in an "unconfirmed" state. This is because my iOS wallet app (BitWallet) didn't require me to include the required .0001 fee with it. As a result, my transaction never confirmed. To make matters worse, my app doesn't have the ability for me to cancel unconfirmed transactions so I can rebroadcast the transaction with a fee attached. Full details in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=722880.0
So my transaction seems to be lost permanently.
It was pointed out to me on a Reddit thread (located at http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2ci5mb/bitcoin_is_not_the_answer_for_micro_transactions/) that the answer could be as simple as the Bitcoin Core app implementing Peter Todd's "Replace By Fee" tools, which he has uploaded onto GitHub here: https://github.com/petertodd/replace-by-fee-tools
I would like to express my support of seeing these "Replace By Fee" tools implemented into the Bitcoin Core app. This would help prevent users like myself from having their transactions lost permanently if they forget to attach a fee!
Thanks!
