<p>Locktime itself is an unsigned 4-byte integer which can be parsed two ways:</p>

<pre><code>If less than 500 million, locktime is parsed as a block height. The transaction can be added to any block which has this height or higher... at least one input must have a sequence number below the maximum.
</code></pre>

<p>your sequence number is fdffffff, which is not "ffffffff" as normally used. </p>

<p>From <a href="https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0125.mediawiki" rel="noreferrer">BIP-125</a> Opt-in Full Replace-by-Fee Signaling: </p>

<blockquote>
  <p>This policy specifies two ways a transaction can signal that it is
  replaceable.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Explicit signaling: A transaction is considered to have opted in to
  allowing replacement of itself if any of its inputs have an nSequence
  number less than (0xffffffff - 1).</li>
  <li>Inherited signaling: Transactions
  that don't explicitly signal replaceability are replaceable under this
  policy for as long as any one of their ancestors signals
  replaceability and remains unconfirmed.</li>
  </ul>
</blockquote>

<p>Since  <code>0xffffffff = 4294967295</code>, and the first transaction has <code>nSequence = 4294967293</code>, it is signalling so.</p>

<p>I created two transactions on Electrum Mac client. The first tranaction is replaceable and the other is non-Replaceable. The followings are the results of get-rawtransaction of the the two transactions. How can I identify from the two raw-transactions whether replaceable or not. I guess that "sequence=4294967295" means Non-replaceable.</p>

<p>Replaceable:</p>

# Replaceable transaction or Non-replaceable. How can I identify it from raw transaction?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-04-23)

I created two transactions on Electrum Mac client. The first tranaction is replaceable and the other is non-Replaceable. The followings are the results of get-rawtransaction of the the two transactions. How can I identify from the two raw-transactions whether replaceable or not. I guess that "sequence=4294967295" means Non-replaceable.

Replaceable:

From [BIP-125](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0125.mediawiki) Opt-in Full Replace-by-Fee Signaling:

> This policy specifies two ways a transaction can signal that it is
> replaceable.
>
> * Explicit signaling: A transaction is considered to have opted in to
>   allowing replacement of itself if any of its inputs have an nSequence
>   number less than (0xffffffff - 1).
> * Inherited signaling: Transactions
>   that don't explicitly signal replaceability are replaceable under this
>   policy for as long as any one of their ancestors signals
>   replaceability and remains unconfirmed.

Since `0xffffffff = 4294967295`, and the first transaction has `nSequence = 4294967293`, it is signalling so.

here is some reference:
<https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-guide#locktime-and-sequence-number>

Locktime itself is an unsigned 4-byte integer which can be parsed two ways:

```
If less than 500 million, locktime is parsed as a block height. The transaction can be added to any block which has this height or higher... at least one input must have a sequence number below the maximum.

```

your sequence number is fdffffff, which is not "ffffffff" as normally used.
