Luxor mined a block with four full-rbf replacements at once: https://web.archive.org/web/20221224215544/https://fullrbf.mempool.observer/
Two from my OTS calendars (including a $165 fee). And two others that I didn't create.
Great example of how legacy payment systems are totally busted: https://www.raspberrypi.com/verify/

Excellent video.
Interesting! Foundry USA mined a full-rbf double-spend, with a few minutes between tx #1 and tx #2: https://web.archive.org/web/20221221022035/https://fullrbf.mempool.observer/
My best guess is this has something to do with unconfirmed inputs. My stock v24.0 node saw both tx #1 and tx #2 at the same time initially, but rejected the latter for spending an unconfirmed input. Then a few minutes later, it accepted tx #2 once the input confirmed.
At least in Malwarebytes, the disclaimer against Enigma's software was softened by describing it as a "potentially unwanted program" or PUP. Here though, Twitter straight up calls Mastodon links malware.
Sounds like a false statement of fact...
Also wondering if the Lanham Act / false advertising claims have a better chance here too.
So... this seems like a good time to start experimenting with Mastodon.
I'm very skeptical about the chances of getting enough network effect to bootstrap a new social media site in general, and even more for distributed/decentralized/non-commercial ones.
Still, recent events on Twitter make me believe there is a chance, and I'd like to help make that happen.
I have two rented VPS servers running full-rbf nodes that were previously in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, quite close to the front lines in Kherson.
The hosting company finally gave up and moved their whole operation to a Kyiv data center this weekend. Russia has been trying to destroy the entire Ukrainian power grid for two months now; wouldn't be surprised if that hosting company can't get enough diesel fuel in Mykolaiv due to demand by other critical services.
Sad.
Twitter is blocking posts with links to Mastodon instances. They aren't just blocking the ones run by the Mastodon project but also smaller instances.
They're even blocking https://infosec.exchange/, https://ioc.exchange/ and https://hachyderm.io/. Perhaps they automated it.

Better than I expected.
Interesting! A full-rbf doublespend just got mined by... a miner on P2Pool!
https://mempool.space/tx/9c8a9cc21cc80ff6ee5daffe8f9283b5501e8333e81b3077cdf97b35a3434959
I didn't even know P2Pool still existed. And it kinda doesn't: according to https://web.archive.org/web/20201029044054/http://p2p-usa.xyz:9334/static/ the expected time between blocks right now is 3.2 years. Looks like the last block was 2 years ago.
Seems like the particular P2Pool miner that found the block had a high minimum fee, as the block only contained the high-fee parts of the mempool: https://miningpool.observer/template-and-block/00000000000000000001f6fc9422b5e1babc73f135d4a2ce3550494f54b601ac

Full-RBF Peering Bitcoin Core v24.0.1 is released.
tl;dr: this ensures you're connected to other full-rbf nodes, by advertising a FULL_RBF service bit, and connecting to four additional nodes advertising that service.
