[bitcoin-dev] what do you think about having a maximum fee rate?

If all transactions pay the proposed max then fee there are still going to be an awful lot of never confirming transactions once the transaction bandwidth limit is surpassed, as I suppose that it roughly is now: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/bitcoin-transactions.html This is what I have

BIP 177: UTPFOTIB - Use Transaction Priority For Ordering Transactions In Blocks This BIP proposes to address the issue of transactional reliability in Bitcoin, where valid transactions may be stuck in the mempool for extended periods. There are two key issues to be resolved: 1. The curre

I see further arguments supporting the “bit" denomination: huge benefit: - amounts denominated in bits fit nicely into legacy database structures and UIs with two decimal places for currency. This change to the usual currrency precision is a huge benefit for integration into existing fi

Allowing a "no-RBF" flag serves only to fool new users into believing that 0-conf is more secure than it is. There is already too much confusion about this point. In Bitcoin was assume that miners are profit-maximizing agents, and so we must assume that (flag or not) miners will replace transactio

2017-12-23 Thread Matt Corallo via bitcoin-dev
While the usability of non-RBF transactions tends to be quite poor, there are some legitimate risk-analysis-based reasons why people use them (eg to sell BTC based on a incoming transaction which you will need to convert to fiat, which has low cost if the transaction doesn't confirm), and if peo

I suppose what I intended is (2) the weak form but, what is essentially needed is (1) the strong form. The answer may be somewhere in-between. I do not see that an entire consensus for the mempool is needed, each node just needs a loose understanding of the average number of non-zero fee transa
