πŸ“„ Summary: A Bitcoin user recently made headlines after accidentally paying an exorbitant $60,000 in transaction fees due to misunderstood use of the Replace-By-Fee (RBF) feature. RBF allows users to resend unconfirmed transactions with higher fees to speed up confirmation but requires detailed knowledge of fee units, wallet behaviors, and how transactions are structured. This incident serves as a crucial reminder for cryptocurrency users to fully understand wallet functionalities before making high-stake transactions to avoid costly errors.

Stay safe out there! Nice summary of the differences between Replace By Fee (RBF) and Child Pays For Parent (CPFP). Also the difference between wallet fees that use Sats (total Satoshis) and Sats/vB (Sats per Virtual Byte).
