el like the real dangers of RBF as default policy aren't sufficiently e=
laborated here. It's not only about the zero-conf (I'll get to that=
) but there is an even bigger danger called the american call option, which=
risks endangering the entirety of BIP21 "Scan this QR code with your =
wallet to buy this product" model that I believe we've all come to=
appreciate. Specifically, in a scenario with high volatility and many tran=
sactions in the mempools (which is where RBF would come in handy), a user c=
an make a low-fee transaction and then wait for hours, days or even longer,=
and see whether BTCUSD moves. If BTCUSD moves up, user can cancel his tran=
saction and make a new - cheaper one. The biggest risk in accepting bitcoin=
payments is in fact not zeroconf risk (it's actually quite easily mana=
ged), it's FX risk as the merchant must commit to a certain BTCUSD rate=
ahead of time for a purchase. Over time some transactions lose money to FX=
and others earn money - that evens out in the end. But if there is an _eas=
ily accessible in the wallet_ feature to "cancel transaction" tha=
t means it will eventually get systematically abused. A risk of X% loss on =
many payments that's easy to systematically abuse is more scary than a =
rare risk of losing 100% of one occasional payment. It's already possib=
le to execute this form of abuse with opt-in RBF, which may lead to us at s=
ome point refusing those payments (even with confirmation) or cumbersome UX=
to work around it, such as crediting the bitcoin to a custodial account.</=
div><div><br></div><div>To compare zeroconf risk with FX risk: I think we&#=
39;ve had one incident in 8 years of operation where a user successfully fo=
oled our server to accept a payment that in the end didn't confirm. To =
successfully fool (non-RBF) zeroconf one needs to have access to mining inf=
rastructure and probability of success is the % of hash rate controlled. Th=
is is simply due to the fact that the network currently won't propagage=
the replacement transaction to the miner, which is what's being discus=
sed here. American call option risk would however be available to 100% of a=
ll users, needs nothing beyond the wallet app, and has no cost to the user =
- only upside.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Bitrefill currently processes 1=
500-2000 onchain payments every day. For us, a world where bitcoin becomes =
de facto RBF by default, means that we would likely turn off the BIP21 mode=
l for onchain payments, instruct Bitcoin users to use Lightning or deposit =
onchain BTC to a custodial account that we have.=C2=A0<br></div><div>This o=
ption is however not available for your typical BTCPayServer/CoinGate/Bitpa=

our total bitcoin payments. This is very much not nothing, and all of us he=
re want Lightning to grow, but I think it warrants a serious discussion on =
whether we want Lightning adoption to go to 100% by means of disabling on-c=
hain commerce. For me personally it would be an easier discussion to have w=
hen Lightning is at 80%+ of all bitcoin transactions. Currently far too man=
y bitcoin users simply don't have access to Lightning, and of those tha=
t do and hold their own keys Muun is the biggest wallet per our data, not l=
east due to their ease-of-use which is under threat per the OP. It's ha=
rd to assess how many users would switch to Lightning in such a scenario, t=
he communication around it would be hard. My intuition says that the majori=
ty of the current 85% of bitcoin users that pay onchain would just not use =
bitcoin anymore, probably shift to an alt. The benefits of Lightning are ma=
ny and obvious, we don't need to limit onchain to make Lightning more a=
ppealing. As an anecdote, we did experiment with defaulting to bech32 addre=
sses some years back. The result was that simply users of the wallets that =
weren't able to pay to bech32 didn't complete the purchase, no supp=
ort ticket or anything, just "it didn't work =F0=9F=A4=B7=E2=80=8D=
=E2=99=82=EF=B8=8F" and user moved on. We rolled it back, and later im=
plemented a wallet selector to allow modern wallets to pay to bech32 while =
other wallets can pay to P2SH. This type of thing=C2=A0 is clunky, and requ=
ires a certain level of scale to be able to do, we certainly wouldn't h=

appreciate RBF as a solution to that issue. Most users (80% or so) simply d=
