I would love it if there was a way for me to pay the gas costs for a signed transaction I receive and then relay to a node. So I am the submitting the transaction, but its data contains a signed raw transaction (ethereumjs-tx) of a different user.

  • looking at ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/1452/…, I suspect that tx.origin will be the one paying the gas :(

  • Why would you want to pay for another one's transaction anyway? But if you really want to do this, you can just send gasLimit * gasPrice to tx.origin.

  • if i do this in the smart contract though, the tx.origin address would need some ether to call the fct in the first place, right? I was hoping to work around any distribution scheme

  • Exactly. This issue is already being discussed here: ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/144/…
