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!
