I've started a new Geyser fund for Libre Relay: https://geyser.fund/project/librerelay

I've ported Libre Relay to Bitcoin Core's new v28.0rc1 release, and I'm trying out Geyser to see if I can get my time paid for. I'll release the code if I do.

@verpcr @internetarchive @brewsterkahle I would not be surprised if that 2017 post doesn't reflect the views of everyone there. Or for that matter, more recent views.

@verpcr @internetarchive @brewsterkahle no progress unfortunately. It's something that needs Internet Archive cooperation to work best, and my understanding of the politics of the situation is that some people at IA refuse to have anything to do with Bitcoin (and probably myself too).

One-Shot Replace-By-Fee-Rate

tl;dr: we can solve Rule #3 transaction pinning attacks by simply replacing based on fee-rate, if the old transaction wasn't going to be mined in the next block or two, and the new transaction will be.

This _is_ incentive compatible, because it makes more sense to make money now with a high fee rate transaction than to favor a transaction of lower fee rate that may never even be mined.
