This means that transactions that F2Pool has will be replaced if &#xA;a&#xA;     conflicting transaction pays a higher fee. There are no requirements &#xA;for&#xA;     the replacement transaction to pay addresses that were paid by the&#xA;     previous transaction.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;Intentional fraud is a bad thing to add to a financial protocol.&#xA;&#xA;A user who creates conflicting transactions, one that pays someone else &#xA;and another which does not pay them, and broadcasts both of them, has &#xA;just self-incriminated themselves by producing prima facie evidence of &#xA;fraud.&#xA;&#xA;It may be the case that since Bitcoin spans multiple legal jurisdictions &#xA;and can be use anonymously that the victims of such fraud can not rely &#xA;on legal recourse, and it may also be the case that proof of work is how &#xA;Bitcoin deals with the aforementioned factors, but regardless &#xA;un-prosecutable fraud is still fraud and anyone who encourages it should &#xA;be recognied as a bad actors.&#xA;&#xA;Committing vandalism and encouraging fraud to prove a point may be &#xA;something the network can&#39;t stop on a technical level, but there&#39;s no &#xA;reason not to call it out for what it is.&#xA;&#xA;-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----&#xA;Version: GnuPG v2&#xA;&#xA;iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJVhCsXAAoJECpf2nDq2eYjA08P/ApDFcIGws55TsgDFxPhDpN+&#xA;Iq9a06mPbXVjUfRxP5ZwmJuiM+XzHQ4QL3C2BH0OETatIV+bh7GP2mGHPcUAISYt&#xA;1j4TKhurnC+mqN+YAsiI5hQsws8DvPYXBTYYn0savaJTbq6/Q77+xvfRgNxofcPW&#xA;EHpnl/5wcmYGgp3mVyStGJ+qIP17yywzCLnSA3WEPaZG/9/FPrIq3Ptw2+RHod79&#xA;nzDiFBiKLK8E5NPbdbXS+gkjkkBA/QeCzZObpMOeWMriu/PIifVi8KssLSznnEwx&#xA;r7hiv6ISW47BTzkRbjxmXmGep3wfl8MjH7BZq3g0uyiApMdmjohIJ2lyuvOXdh7s&#xA;47+4r2xA8gG+z0aQTmCx5TS75T0Hnj3I78ZtCVr31Ip2OLbNI1mQ2gPR2zaoZkUZ&#xA;atp2XCssHDlY2s30k5hAnIHxuN6CkyGkZCECSuv46Z3ok6ll/nIP80qB7BBzVlP1&#xA;xfSOPZh57J31U8PxZBZcwgdRg+HBiExvg484grE+h18izxcrjNfPRSWP4+7nEZtK&#xA;LN7JL7YcmhVfhqKTSd6+C4bD2LsKsrcMiUhH1xHkD/hzAxc7egL6lgYTHJjU+yPu&#xA;BTIh0VHJxBgroHB45Vq6loa4B3l4ZCl4Ykw8Opm7NJIfueJ0l0ySyJXi6ix4bjVf&#xA;ZRF0Ot9RP0M0fHEwOpT6&#xA;=s0w/&#xA;-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----</html></oembed>
