> I'm somewhat curious what the authors envisioned the real-world implicati=
ons of this model to be. While blindly asking users to enter what they're w=
illing to pay always works in theory, I'd imagine in such a world the fee s=
election UX would be similar to what it is today - users are provided a lis=
t of options with feerates and expected confirmation times from which to se=
lect. Indeed, in a world where users pay a lower fee if they paid more than=
necessary fee estimation could be more willing to overshoot and the UX aro=
und RBF and CPFP could be simplified greatly, but I'm not actually convince=
d that it would result in higher overall mining revenue.
Note too that the fee users are willing to pay often changes over time.
My OpenTimestamps service is a perfect example: getting a timestamp confirm=
ed
within 10 minutes of the previous one has little value to me, but if the
previous completed timestamp was 24 hours ago I'm willing to pay significan=
tly
more money because the time delay is getting significant enough to affect t=
he
trustworthyness of the entire service. So the fee selection mechanism is
nothing more than a RBF-using loop that bumps the fee every time a block ge=
ts
mined w/o confirming my latest transaction.
This kind of time sensitivity is probably true of a majority of Bitcoin
use-cases, with the caveat that often the slope will be negative eventually:
after a point in time completing the transaction has no value.
