UpMyFee

Script for change Bitcoin transaction fee (only unconfirmed).

Sometimes transactions in Bitcoin are confirmed for a very long time. This is usually due to network congestion and / or low commission.

If the transaction does not have any confirmation yet, you can correct the situation.

Also you can change recipient address of unconfirmed transaction.

How it works?

This script creates a new transaction, similar to the original, but with a large fee and new recipient address.

Why you need create new recipient addres? Because if you submit some transaction with some addresses - you can receive Error #-26: 18: txn-mempool-conflict

More details?

• get and decode raw transaction
