 **2. Wait Until it Expires.** If you accidentally sent with no transaction fee, or if any number or other conditions are met, then your transaction might never go through. However, your coins aren't lost. As long as you don't have a wallet that purposefully resends unconfirmed transactions, it should clear from the mempool in three days or so, and then you can try again.

 # 5.2: Resending a Transaction with RBF

This is especially true if a transaction is marked as `bip125-replaceable`, because then it can be ... replaced.

 ## Understand How Multisigs Work
 
-In a typical P2PKH or SegWit transaction, bitcoins are sent to an address based on your public key, which in turn means that the related private key is required to unlock the transaction, solving the cryptographic puzzle and allowing you to reuse the funds. But what if you could instead lock a transaction with _multiple_ private keys. This would effectively allow funds to be sent to a group of people, where those people all have to agree to reuse the funds.

-Technically, a multisignature cryptographic puzzle is created by Bitcoin using the OP_CHECKMULTISIG command, and typically that's encapsulated in a P2SH address.

For now, all you need to know is that you can use `bitcoin-cli` command to create multisignature addresses; funds can be mailed to these addresses just like any normal P2PKH or Segwit address, but multiple private keys will be required for the redemption of the funds.

 A relative timelock is a lock that's placed on a specific input of a transaction and that's calculated in relation to the mining date of the UTXO being used in the input. For example, if a UTXO was mined at block #468260 and a transaction was created where the input for that UTXO was given an `nSequence` of 100, then the new transaction could not be mined until at least block #468360.
