Rebroadcast? #399

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
If the peerGroup is destroyed after broadcasting a transaction, but before the 
transaction is included in a block, is it necessary to rebroadcast that 
transaction when the peerGroup is recreated later?

And if so, how do i go about identifying which transactions in the wallet to 
rebroadcast?

Thanks in advance for your help.

This sort of thing is a question that's best asked on the mailing list.

Once a transaction has been included in the best chain, by definition every 
Bitcoin node knows about it. So there is no point rebroadcasting it - in fact, 
doing so wouldn't work as it'd be seen as a double spend.
