The convention is changing quickly, since miners are squeezed for cash and want to capture every nickel, plus there are bounties for full rbf being posted every day. I would suggest considering to continue doing business, as usual, as if full rbf is present. This means: - managing risk - waiting for confirmations if the risk is too high - using lightning if possible No other coin or chain offers a safer way to do business than lightning over bitcoin.
