Availability of Held Payments

-

Held payments have been enabled by the "Escrow" Amendment to the Ripple Consensus Protocol since 2017-03-31. A previous version of the same functionality was available on the Ripple Test Net by the name "Suspended Payments" (SusPay) in 2016.

When testing in stand-alone mode, you can force the Escrow feature to be enabled locally regardless of the amendment status. Add the following stanza to your rippled.cfg:

-
