[Mining] automate RBF and burn fee parameters #3565

Open jcnelson opened 1 year ago

jcnelson commented 1 year ago

With the recent burst of mining activity, it seems that miners don't know (or can't be bothered) to calibrate their Bitcoin transaction fees and RBF thresholds. As a result, we have a lot more orphans than we did last week. Namely:

I'm opening this issue to discuss the possibility of just requiring miners to set a maximum spend per block, and let the node software figure out what transaction fee and RBF threshold to use based on recent Bitcoin block activity.

This is somewhat high-priority given that the inability to do this leads to miner instability.
