Replace-by-Fee (RBF)

An unconfirmed transaction can be replaced by another version of the same transaction that spends the same inputs. Most full nodes support this if the earlier transaction enables BIP125 signaling and the replacement transaction increases the amount of fee paid. In terms of block chain space used, this is the most efficient form of fee bumping.

Receiving support

  • No notification
    There are no incoming transaction notifications for this service
  • Received transaction not labeled replaceable in list
    Does not visually indicate that an incoming transaction has signaled RBF
  • Does not show transaction details
    This service does not show transaction details natively. Usually this means the service links off to a block explorer for transaction details.
  • Shows replacement transaction only
    Only the replacement transaction is shown in the transaction list. No original transaction shown

Sending support

  • Does not signal BIP125 replacability when sending transactions
    Does not allow sending of BIP125 opt-in-RBF transactions in the interface
  • Sent transaction not labeled replaceable in list
    Does not visually indicate that an outgoing transaction has signaled RBF
  • Does not show transaction details
    This service does not show transaction details natively. Usually this means the service links off to a block explorer for transaction details.
  • No replacements in transaction list
    Because no transaction replacement is possible, we could not test whether original or replacement sent transactions are shown after replacement

Receiving RBF Transaction - Opendime uses a simple address explorer on opendime.com. No RBF Flag. OPENDIME’s simple transaction list explorer does not provide RBF flag notice. However there are links to other explorers on the page (Blockchain.info, Blocktrail, LocalBitcoins, BitInfoCharts, a BIP122 link)
