@ -222,7 +222,7 @@ The data structure of transactions does not have a field for fees. Instead, fees
[[tx_fee_equation]]
.Transaction fees are implied, as the excess of inputs minus outputs:
----
Fees = Sum(Inputs) - Sum(Outputs)
Fees = Sum(Inputs) – Sum(Outputs)
----
This is a somewhat confusing element of transactions and an important point to understand, because if you are constructing your own transactions you must ensure you do not inadvertently include a very large fee by underspending the inputs. That means that you must account for all inputs, if necessary by creating change, or you will end up giving the miners a very big tip!
