Cluster Mempool

[murchandamus]

Description

What is this talk about? Give us as many details as possible.

Cluster Mempool is an effort to rearchitect how Bitcoin Core stores unconfirmed transactions, builds blocks, and evaluates replacement candidates. It is expected to drastically simplify package relay with bigger packages than two transactions, speed up block building, and generalize CPFP to descendants-pay-for-ancestors.

What would an attendee learn from this talk?

• What issues exist in the current mempool design?
• How does the Cluster Mempool approach address those issues?
• How does Cluster Mempool work?
• How does this change affect users and other network participants?

Is there anything folks should read up on before they attend this talk?

• Basic knowledge about unconfirmed transactions and mempool is useful
