Status: Deferred until handling stuck transactions is implemented

If a transaction sent requires a fee greater than (new) maxtxfee option, aborts with an error.

If started with undocumented unsupported -nosafefees option, allows JSON-RPC to set a "forcetxfee" to override the error and send anyway (with maxtxfee amount of fees only).

Closing,

  1. requires nak'd commit that accepts non-standard transactions
  2. "status: deferred" could be for a long time
  3. this is an active area of Gavin work too, and so I think it is fair to require some discussion (on bitcoin-devel?) before proposing fee calculation or fee RPC changes. You will note that CreateNewBlock: Child-pays-for-parent / Add transaction fee later #1647 is on the list for 0.7, so hopefully that illustrates we are being fair in this area, and merging discussed items.

  1. It was not NAK'd.
  2. So?
  3. It was not at the time it was implemented, and still isn't really. Low-level tools are no substitute for the high-level ones.
