Can you provide a worked example of this in use? I think I see a major
flaw, but I'd like to see a worked example first.
Keep in mind that there's absolutely no reason to have pending
transactions in mempools until we actually expect them to be mined.
Equally this proposal is no more "consensus enforcement" than simply
increasing the fee (and possibly decreasing the absolute nLockTime) for
each replacement would be; increasing the fee for each mempool
replacement is a hard requirement as an anti-DoS anyway. (this was all
discussed on the mailing list two years ago when RBF was first proposed)
