Interesting! I'm running a full-rbf node that is (manually) connected to a few
hundred v24.0 nodes to ensure good propagation. But I'm only connected to
standard ports (I'm reusing the DNS seed list). So you must have a full-rbf
peer purely by luck.

Could you please grep your logs for which peer(s) are sending you replacements?
I don't want to know the IP addresses. I'm just curious if you have exactly one
full-rbf peer or more.

BTW I have Antoine's preferential peering patch ported to v24.0, along with a
few other minor fixes:

https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin/tree/full-rbf-v24.0

I think it'd be reasonable for you to run that, as what's more interesting is
the replacements, not whether or not propagation happens to work out of the
box.

So according to my logs the replacement that AntPool mined, 3c96fe813, was the
third replacement in a row of four replacements:

2022-12-10T07:46:09Z [mempool] AcceptToMemoryPool: peer=<snip>: accepted 903f03b16e69f9f3fc6bb8d008338da37efc3f235fc5091ca767baae96834d95 (poolsz 6320 txn, 90818 kB)

There's significant time between tx #2 and tx #3, and the block was found soon
after #4 reached my node, so it's quite possible that AntPool was in fact
running full-rbf and they simply didn't see #4 in time.

Big pools tend to run many different nodes at once, splitting up hash rate
between them, so they could be simply running full-rbf on a subset of their
hashing power to test it out. I noticed F2Pool mined a few full-rbf
replacements a few weeks ago too (they also mined a replacement that appeared
to be due to them starting a new node, with an empty mempool).

Similarly, note how Luxor has mined a few blocks since #766733, without mining
full-rbf replacements.


I'll also note that Foundry USA mined a doublespend,
fab4df6b9b51dcfe94b366f17bccca50430f4ceb274a87f948a5493cd31a8551, which your
site shows. In that case according to my logs the two transactions were sent
essentially simultaneously, so likely just an accident of propagation. But it's
good to remind people that such double-spends are easy. :)

Thanks! That's very useful.
