<br>
CPFP is a significantly more expensive way of paying fees than RBF,<br>
particularly for the use-case of defragmenting outputs, with cost<br>
savings ranging from 30% to 90%<br>
<br>
<br>
Case 1: CPFP vs. RBF for increasing the fee on a single tx<br>
----------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Creating an spending a P2PKH output uses 34 bytes of txout, and 148<br>
bytes of txin, 182 bytes total.<br>
<br>
Let&#39;s suppose I have a 1 BTC P2PKH output and I want to pay 0.1 BTC to<=
br>
Alice. This results in a 1in/2out transaction t1 that&#39;s 226 bytes in si=
ze.<br>
I forget to click on the &quot;priority fee&quot; option, so it goes out wi=
th the<br>
minimum fee of 2.26uBTC. Whoops! I use CPFP to spend that output,<br>
creating a new transaction t2 that&#39;s 192 bytes in size. I want to pay<b=
r>
1mBTC/KB for a fast confirmation, so I&#39;m now paying 418uBTC of<br>
transaction fees.<br>
<br>
On the other hand, had I use RBF, my wallet would have simply<br>
rebroadcast t1 with the change address decreased. The rules require you<br>
to pay 2.26uBTC for the bandwidth consumed broadcasting it, plus the new<br=
>
fee level, or 218uBTC of fees in total.<br>
<br>
Cost savings: 48%<br>
<br>
<br>
Case 2: Paying multiple recipients in succession<br>
------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
Suppose that after I pay Alice, I also decide to pay Bob for his hard<br>
work demonstrating cryptographic protocols. I need to create a new<br>
transaction t2 spending t1&#39;s change address. Normally t2 would be<br>
another 226 bytes in size, resulting in 226uBTC additional fees.<br>
<br>
With RBF on the other hand I can simply double-spend t1 with a<br>
transaction paying both Alice and Bob. This new transaction is 260 bytes<br=
>
in size. I have to pay 2.6uBTC additional fees to pay for the bandwidth<br>
consumed broadcasting it, resulting in an additional 36uBTC of fees.<br>
<br>
Cost savings: 84%<br>
<br>
<br>
Case 3: Paying multiple recipients from a 2-of-3 multisig wallet<br>
----------------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The above situation gets even worse with multisig. t1 in the multisig<br>
case is 367 bytes; t2 another 367 bytes, costing an additional 367uBTC<br>
in fees. With RBF we rewrite t1 with an additional output, resulting in<br>
a 399 byte transaction, with just 36uBTC in additional fees.<br>
<br>
Cost savings: 90%<br>
<br>
<br>
Case 4: Dust defragmentation<br>
----------------------------<br>
<br>
My wallet has a two transaction outputs that it wants to combine into<br>
one for the purpose of UTXO defragmentation. It broadcasts transaction<br>
t1 with two inputs and one output, size 340 bytes, paying zero fees.<br>
<br>
Prior to the transaction confirming I find I need to spend those funds<br>
for a priority transaction at the 1mBTC/KB fee level. This transaction,<br>
t2a, has one input and two outputs, 226 bytes in size. However it needs<br>
to pay fees for both transactions at once, resulting in a combined total<br=
>
fee of 556uBTC. If this situation happens frequently, defragmenting<br>
UTXOs is likely to cost more in additional fees than it saves.<br>
<br>
With RBF I&#39;d simply doublespend t1 with a 2-in-2-out transaction 374<br=
>
bytes in size, paying 374uBTC. Even better, if one of the two inputs is<br>
sufficiently large to cover my costs I can doublespend t1 with a<br>
1-in-2-out tx just 226 bytes in size, paying 226uBTC.<br>
<br>
Cost savings: 32% to 59%, or even infinite if defragmentation w/o RBF<br>
