Topic: Sending without transaction fees - page 4. (Read 3139 times)
You can send sometimes transactions without fees but you have to be care with what you do it, I never send it without fees so I don't have to worry about if it arrives
That's true for big transactions.
Let's suppose you are sending 0.03 btc to someone , so generally you pay 0.0001 as transaction fees , but i sometimes crop it to half i.e. 0.00005 and still get same confirmation time, though it is not recommended and before you use them , Remember that they might take some days to pass

As long as your transaction is small enough (in terms of the size measured in kb) then pools will confirm a no transaction fee. The max size that pools will accept not containing fees varies from pool to pool.
There are other considerations that pools take into consideration as well when determining if they will confirm a no tx fee transaction, including (but not limited to): number of bitcoin days destroyed, size (measured by amount of bitcoin) of both the inputs and outputs. Again the policies regarding the criteria to allow transactions to be included in a found block varies from pool to pool.
Generally speaking, if you include a transaction fee of .0001 (equal to roughly 2.8 cents) then your transaction will be included in the next found block. IMO this is a very small price to pay for next block confirmation

Just use a wallet that lets you set the fee (I can't find a way to do it with Multi-bit, but Electrum lets you set your fee), and give it a try. It might take days for the transaction to go through, though, so don't try it with an important sum of BTC.
In general, though, I wish people would just pony up the 2.8 cents and feel good about supporting the network...

Yes,Multibit does not allow its users to be able to change the fees themselves. It is permanently set to 0.0001
Or use a wallet that let's you set the fee per kb.
Is it possible to somehow set the fees in the original bitcoin-qt?
It was certainly possible, and I don't know if it has changed, but instead of thinking how to use the network for free, you'd better think about how to make it fast and sustainable. If I were a miner, there's no way I would let a transaction go through without a fee.
Think about the miner's point of view: why should he accept transactions without a fee?

Hello,
I read many things about transfees(not be included in a block)
Any I saw many transactions without fees and still getting confirmed.
How is that possible and how can I actually do it?

Well the rule of thumb is never send a transaction without a fee. It may take a month to confirm. The prioirity is low for such transactions.
