You can already hand a transaction to a miner privately. I hand a transaction to a miner with some reasonable fee, and then I go and broadcast a different transaction with a minimal fee that spends the same inputs. The whole network (including the miner I handed the tx to) could all be running with a strict first-seen mempool policy, but we can still have a situation where the miner creates a block with a different transaction from what you see in your mempool. If anytime this happens, the nodes running your proposed rule drop the block, then anyone can fork those nodes off the network whenever they want.\n\nEven outside of adversarial settings, Bitcoin doesn't (and doesn't attempt to) promise consistency across mempools. Making a consensus rule that enforces mempool consistency is a recipe for (unintended?) chainsplits.\n\n- rijndael\n\nOn 12/5/22 7:20 AM, El_Hoy via bitcoin-dev wrote:\n\n\u003e The only option I see against the attack Peter Todd is doing to opt-in RBF and 0Conf bitcoin usage is working on a bitcoin core implementation that stops propagation of full-rbf replaced blocks. Running multiple of such nodes on the network will add a risk to miners that enable full-rbf that would work as an incentive against that.\n\u003e\n\u003e Obviously that would require adding an option on bitcoin core (that is not technically but politically difficult to implement as Petter Todd already have commit access to the main repository).\n\u003e\n\u003e That said, a sufficiently incentivized actor (like Daniel Lipshitz or Muun wallet developers) could work on a fork and run several nodes with such functionality.
