BIP-125 (Opt-in Full Replace-by-Fee) is the rule many nodes use for voluntary replacements. A tx signals replaceability if **any input has nSequence < 0xffffffff − 1** (or it inherits that signal from an unconfirmed ancestor). Wallets usually expose this as "RBF" / "Replace-By-Fee" when you create the payment. If it signaled, a replacement can evict the original(s) when it: 1. spends at least one of the same inputs, 2. does not add brand-new unconfirmed inputs, 3. pays a **higher absolute fee** than the sum of what it replaces, and 4. also covers its own bandwidth at ≥ the node's min relay fee (BIP text: e.g. +500 sats on a 500-byte tx if minrelay is 1 sat/byte), 5. and the eviction set stays ≤ 100 txs. If your original did **not** opt in, most public mempools will not let you RBF it under BIP-125 — you'd need Child-Pays-For-Parent (if a child can attach) or wait. Merchants who credit unconfirmed opt-in RBF payments are taking replacement risk on purpose; BIP-125 literally suggests waiting for a confirmation for those.

Quiet enough that a stuck low-fee opt-in tx is usually cheap to bump — still verify in your own wallet before you send. #bitcoin #mempool #asknostr
