Hi Greg, Antoine, Bastien,
Thanks very much for the feedback! I interpret most of the discussion
around limitations as ideas for future improvements rather than criticisms
of the proposal (please correct me if I'm wrong). I'll try to respond to as
much as possible.
Also I realize that I didn't contextualize this proposal clearly enough; it
is very tailored for LN Penalty and definitely doesn't close all pinning
attacks possible (sorry for confusing anyone). I also agree that some bits
can be a little ugly or tack-on; I would definitely prefer a comprehensive
RBF revamp to fix all our problems and enable other fee-bumping strategies
such as
sign-ANYONECANPAY-then-bring-your-own-fees-by-adding-inputs-at-broadcast. I
was hoping to get some ideas with the "RBF Improvements" post in January,
but it doesn't seem like we're much closer to a workable proposal. I think
this is a minimally-invasive step that works for Lightning today, a small
fix similar to CPFP carve out.
> As you likely know from previous discussions the biggest scenario this
does not fix in my estimation is ANYONECANPAY situations. If the parent
transaction can be "inflated" by tacking on additional inputs, this means
the total weight of the parent tx lowers the effective feerate of the
package.
(For more context to other readers I wrote an explanation for this in
"SIGHASH_ANYONECANPAY Pinning" section of RBF ML post). Yes, this
unfortunately doesn't fix any of the existing pinning attacks for single
transaction RBF but also doesn't make them worse. This boils down to adding
an incentive compatibility rule that ensures you can't replace a
transaction with something that will confirm slower. Package RBF has an
ancestor feerate-based rule for this (note it is quite conservative and not
perfect).
So in the scenario above with the "inflated" parent that was signed ACP,
the replacement would be rejected because the package ancestor feerate is
lower than the feerate of what is being replaced. But it is imperfect
(explained below) and thus I wouldn't recommend it for single transaction
replacement. So that attack still exists for single transactions, yes.
The strategy of using ACP to bring-your-own-fees has its own challenges but
hopefully has no current use cases as you say. AFAIK LN Penalty is not
affected by this since it doesn't use ACP, though obviously I agree we
should fix it for the future.
So when I said "this is intended for fee-bumping presigned txns in
contracting protocols," I should have said "this is intended for
fee-bumping presigned txns specifically using CPFP and anchor outputs."
Apologies for forgetting to contextualize, I've been sitting on this for
too long.
> The other scenario it doesn't really fix is where HTLC/commitment-like
transactions are being resolved in a batch, but due to relative time
constraints, you may want to accelerate some and not others. Now you must
pay higher rates to replace all of the transaction bumps. This is a
"self-pin" and "get good at utxos noob" type problem, but it's something
that axing rule#3 in favor of a Replace-by-ancestor-feerate system would
get us.
I understand you to mean "if you don't have enough UTXOs and you're forced
to batch-bump, you over-pay because you need to bring them all to the
highest target feerate." Isn't this kind of separate, wallet-related
problem? Contracting or not, surely every wallet needs to have enough UTXOs
to not batch transactions that shouldn't be batched... I don't see how a
replace-by-ancestor-feerate policy would make any difference for this?
Also in general I'd like to reiterate that ancestor feerate is not a
panacea to all our RBF incentive compatibility concerns. Like individual
feerate, unless we run the mining algorithm, it cannot tell us exactly how
quickly this transaction would be mined.
We're estimating the incentive compatibility of the original transaction(s)
and replacement transaction(s), with the goal of not letting a transaction
replace something that would have been more incentive compatible to mine.
As such, we don't want to overestimate how good the replacement is, and we
don't want to underestimate how good the original transactions are. This
rule "The minimum between package feerate and ancestor feerate of the child
is not lower than the individual feerates of all directly conflicting
transactions and the ancestor feerates of all original transactions" is a
conservative estimate.
> Would kind of be nice if package RBF would detect a "sibling output
spend" conflict, and knock it out of the mempool via the other replacement
rules? Getting rid of the requirement to 1 block csv lock every output
would be quite nice from a smart contracting composability point of view.
Interesting, so when a transaction hits a mempool tx's descendant limit, we
consider evicting one of its descendants in favor of this transaction,
based on the RBF rules.
Cool idea! After chewing on this for a bit, I think this *also* just boils
down to the fact that RBF should require replacements to be better mining
candidates. As in, if we added this policy and it can make us evict the
sibling and accept a transaction with a bunch of low-feerate ancestor junk,
it would be a new pinning vector.
> If you're a miner and you receive a non-V3, second descendant of an
unconfirmed V3 transaction, if the offered fee is in the top mempool
backlog, I think you would have an interest to accept such a transaction.
> So I'm not sure if those two rules are compatible with miners
incentives...
The same argument can be made for the 26th descendant of a mempool
transaction; it's also not entirely incentive-compatible to reject it, but
that is not the *only* design goal in mempool policy. Of course, the
difference here is that the 25-descendant limit rule is a sensible DoS
protection, while this 1-descendant limit rule is more of a "help the
Bitcoin ecosystem" policy, just like CPFP carve-out, dust limit, etc. I can
of course understand why not everyone would be in favor of this, but I do
think it's worth it.

Yeah exactly, the "Rule 3 pin" is done by adding a child that's high-fee
(so you have to pay that much to evict it). Because they *don't* want this
tx to confirm, normally, this child would be really large. If they only
have 1000vB for the child, they can't increase the replacement cost without
also fee-bumping the transaction to make it confirm faster.
> As of today, I think yes you can already fingerprint LN transactions on
the spec-defined amount value of the anchor outputs, 330 sats. There is
always one of them on post-anchor commitment transactions. And sadly I
would say we'll always have tricky fingerprints leaking from unilateral LN
closures such as HTLC/PTLC timelocks...

Great to hear that there is no privacy worsening!
