prioritisetransaction

prioritisetransaction “txid” ( dummy ) fee_delta Accepts the transaction into mined blocks at a higher (or lower) priority

Arguments:

  1. txid (string, required) The transaction id.
  2. dummy (numeric, optional) API-Compatibility for previous API. Must be zero or null. DEPRECATED. For forward compatibility use named arguments and omit this parameter.
  3. fee_delta (numeric, required) The fee value (in satoshis) to add (or subtract, if negative). Note, that this value is not a fee rate. It is a value to modify absolute fee of the TX. The fee is not actually paid, only the algorithm for selecting transactions into a block considers the transaction as it would have paid a higher (or lower) fee.

Result: true|false (boolean) Returns true
