Why don't you just give me an example of some merchants using Coinspaid, and
another example using Coinpayments, who rely on unconfirmed transactions? If
those merchants actually exist it should be very easy to give me some names=
 of
them.

Without actual concrete examples for everyone to see for themselves, why sh=
ould
we believe you?

Why don't you just tell me exactly what service Changelly offers that relie=
s on
unconfirmed transactions, and what characteristics would meet GAP600's risk
criteria? I and others on this mailing list could easily do test transactio=
ns
if you told us what we can actually test. If your service actually works, t=
hen
you can safely provide that information.

I'm not going to give you any exact tx hashes of transactions I've already
done, as I don't want to cause any problems for the owners of the accounts I
borrowed for testing. Given your lack of honesty so far I have every reason=
 to
believe they might be retalliated against in some way.

Funny how you say this, without actually giving any concrete examples of
businesses that will be affected. Who exactly are these businesses? Payment
processors obviously don't count.

I've already had multiple mining pools complain to me that they and their
employees have been harassed over full-rbf, so obviously I'm not going to
provide you with any private contact information I have. There's no need to
expose them to further harassment.

If you actually offered an unconfirmed transaction guarantee service, with =
real
customers getting an actual benefit, you'd be doing test transactions
frequently and would already have a very good idea of what pools do full-rb=
f.
Why don't you already have this data?
