Seeing RBF mentioned, I used CPFP for the first time this year. I’m actually not a massively gifted techie so I found that a really cool feature. Bitcoin really is incredible isn’t it
You are one ahead of me!
I have done a few RBF transactions. But I have never done CPFP. That's cool that that exists too.
I never stops amazing me how important the game theory part of Bitcoin is, and how important incentives are to helping make it work.
Bitcoin has ABSOLUTELY shown the amazing power of opensource software. Yes we all know about Firefox, and Chromium. And a few nerds run linux. But all but the Linux die-hards see it as the weird "off brand" OS (that happens to run almost the entire internet).
Satoshi rightly gets a lot of praise for releasing such an amazing thing, and then having the wisdom to hand it over to the world. But, the developers of the software who have continued to shepherd it wisely doing things like adding RBF and CPFP don;t always get the credit they deserve. While the WHOLE WORLD clamors for
features like all the shitcoins have without seeing that a lot of these "features" have cost people millions, and billions of dollars in losses. And at the same time the shitcoiners yelp about things like RBF, when that new functionality actually strengthens the foundation on which Bitcoin runs. While certain assholes even threaten and SUE the devs making their work even harder (or at times impossible).
These developers are making the RIGHT decisions, and because of it the crooked financial system of the world will be toppled by a rag tag troop of neckbeards.
It's basically a David and Goliath story.
Yes! It really is incredible. Or perhaps so credible it's hard to believe!
