Hi Suhas,

From my understanding, the main crux of the reasoning exposed in your post
would be to solidify the transaction-relay paradigm we have been following
during the last years, e.g introducing the carve-out rule specifically for
lightning commitment transactions, or more recently version=3 transactions.
I think this paradigm could be described summarly as "to each use-case
belongs a set of transaction-relay policy rules". Some of this set of rules
could aim to non-replacement guarantees to the consumers of transactions
signaling under this regime (e.g zeroconf). Another set of rules could
provide a high-guarantee that a transaction would always get to a miner, no
matter what the state of node's mempools on the network (e.g "maximal rbf"
for contracting protocols).

First, coming out of my mind, we would have to consider isolation between
each set of policy rules, ensuring the signaling mechanism cannot be abused
by an attacker to create a new pinning vector. E.g, a hypothetical concern
could be BIP125 rules interfering with version=3 policy to block the
replacement of better ancestor feerate packages. Further, for each set of
policy rules arises the question of internal consistency, again an attacker
could abuse them to pin transactions
propagation. I think an earlier version of version=3 was suffering from
this concern of not scoping potential "junk" ancestors. None of those
issues are unsolvable, however we should be well-aware of the
non-negligeable design complexity encumbered by transaction-relay protocol
developers to achieve the correct goal. There is not only a need to ensure
careful policy rules security analysis, but further to communicate well
their usage to second-layers and wallets developers (a task far from easy
with all the confusions contained by current BIP125).

Now, in the evaluation process of a set of policy rules soundness are
proposed a few reasoning heuristics: namely that it shouldn't interfere
sensibly with a anti-DoS mempool acceptance algorithm, or shouldn't
interfere with other protocols on the network, or counter the interests of
miners or node operators. I hold the belief the latest question could be
the one raising the most concerns. Browsing in the history of Bitcoin Core,
I think one of the design goals aimed for has always been to level the
playing field between miners, e.g BIP152 improving block transfer latency
to reduce orphan rate. Following this principle, we might wonder if our
transaction-relay network should guarantee some equal access to transaction
information to all the miners.

In the present case of a non-replacement policy regime, we could see the
following situation to arise, on one side miners deploying private
transaction-relay communication channels or API to capture higher fees
income from non-standard transactions. On the other-side, transaction
issuers or consumers bypass the standard transaction-relay policy rules.
Bypass could be motivated by either a zeroconf service double-spend, or
faster confirmation of a collaborative transaction. E.g, to reuse the
example of unconfirmed transaction chaining, where the sender commit to
non-replacement by opting out from the RBF flag, this commitment could be
reevaluated in the light of changing network mempools congestion, or
liquidity preferences (e.g the quick need to open LN routing channels). The
sender could leverage such hypothetical private transaction-relay
communication channels to revoke its non-replacement commitment. Therefore
discrepancies between a set of policy rules design and miners incentives
sounds to lead to informational asymmetries, harmful for the long-term
decentralization of the mining ecosystem. Of course, miner incomes
asymmetries due to edge in transaction flows access might not be weighted
as serious today, in a world where transaction fees contribute to most of
the block reward, this is far more worrying!

Of course, one position could be to estimate that miner centralization is
beyond the scope of responsibility of the Bitcoin Core project. Or at least
as a result of lightweighted risks.

Such discrepancy between a set of policy rules design and miners incentives
could also lead to hidden security risks for second-layers. As we see more
security assumptions made on policy rules extension, e.g version=3, a
lightning channel counterparty could have a competing interest to forge a
raw package suiting better incentives, and as such nullify the security
advantage expected. This could be seen as a loose concern, however the last
time we have seen an actor deliberately providing non-standard transactions
to a miner to break second-layers was yesterday [0]!. From observing other
cryptocurrencies spaces, such "MEV-style" attacks could be more and more
concerning [1]. I don't think we should assume miners to behave as "network
gentlemen", in a world where mining can be anonymous, permissionless and
censorship-resistant (e.g Stratum V2 giving back template construction to
miners operators rather than pools).

According to me, one of the harder problem we're seeing with this fullrbf
discussion is the lack of a consistent, grounded and well-understood miner
incentive model, where not only block template construction but also
transaction collection and replacement strategies are analyzed, and against
which we could simulate the efficiency of a policy. Assuming we would have
such a model, rather than qualify a policy rule as incentive-compatible in
a binary fashion, we could evaluate them on a scale, and agree on when
they're satisfying enough in face of technical complexity, validation
resources, margin of adversarial exploitation, or whatever other relevant
criteria.

Answering a few other points raised in this post, what appears to me
obscure is the qualification that fullrbf doesn't solve the DoS issues for
contracting protocols (e..g coinjoin/dual-funded lightning). If I can
understand, it's on the ground that the imperfections of BIP125 underscore
only the direct conflict feerate. It should be remembered that allowing
replacement without considering the opting flag would be already an
improvement against the DoS attack, as the attack would have to offer a
more compelling feerate to maintain the pin. Improvements of BIP125 can
happen on the top, but solving the opt-out double-spend issue sounds to me
a prerequisite.

Beyond that, I think few questions are laid out on the conceptual soundness
of v3 transaction policy w.r.t concerns raised about fullrbf today. In my
opinion, I'm sadly with most of them, especially that miners might earn
more revenue if we allowed multiple descendant v3 transactions and the
unenforceable promise for the recipient of such package to not add more
high-value children, I've echoed those concerns earlier in the review of
nVersion=3 proposal [2]. We might have to swallow the bullet for now, and
be okay as lightning developers and operators that there is only a social
inertia of the miners and lack of reliable communication channels towards
them by an adversarial counterparty to offer security [3]. Additionally, I
think it would be acceptable to have an option to disable v3 transaction
policy, an operator could be willing to reduce the CPU/memory DoS surface
of its node from partaking to any package relay. Even if it comes at the
loss of a better view of blockspace demand and downgrades its
fee-estimation, I think we should give the maximum flexibility to operators
in choosing their risk model.

To put it in a nutshell, if we would like to pursue further in the paradigm
that "to each use-case belongs its set of policy rules" (as long as they
don't introduce any harm for the network stakeholders), I believe we would
be more grounded with a better quantitative understanding of so-called
"miners incentives". I'm still wondering if it's realistic to deploy policy
rules that are not sustainable in face of long-term mining dynamics.

Best,
Antoine

"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..."
