| Dec 9, 2016 at 18:31 | comment | added | Fakeer | Thanks for the responses. Due to mostly smaller sized transactions the merchant cannot wait for confirmations. Given this primary constraint I'm trying to find out how to take precautions to minimize double spend attacks. That's why I was trying to identify some parameters that can be used for defence - e.g. not accepting zero fee Txs. A reasonable fee having a high chance of being propagated quickly (I understand that the same inputs can be sent in two txs one with higher fees) | |
