Cost savings by using replace-by-fee, 30-90%



Summary:

The context of this message concerns a discussion on the Bitcoin-development mailing list regarding the use of replace-by-fee (RBF) versus child-pays-for-parent (CPFP) for increasing transaction fees. One member of the list, Peter Todd, argues that RBF is a more cost-effective approach particularly for defragmenting outputs. He provides four case studies to support his argument, demonstrating that RBF can result in cost savings ranging from 30% to 90%. However, another member of the list responds with an expletive-laden message criticizing Todd and suggesting he should stick to serving his big bank clients rather than meddling in Bitcoin development. The email also includes a link to Todd's company information. Overall, the tone of the email chain is contentious, with one member calling for civility and decorum on the list.
