What prevents RBF from being used for fraudulent payment reversals? Pay 1BTC to Alice for hard goods, then after you receive the goods broadcast a double spend of that transaction to pay Alice nothing? Your only cost is the higher network fee of the 2nd tx. Thanks, -Danny On Mon, May 25, 2015

The general idea for replace by fee is that it would be restricted so as to make it safe, eg all the original addresses should receive no less bitcoin (more addresses can be added). The scorched earth game theory stuff (allowing removing recipients) is kind of orthogonal. Adam On 26 May 2015 at

Well so for example it could have an additional input (to increase the BTC paid into the transaction) and pay more to an existing change address and higher fee, or add an additional change address, and leave a larger fee, or if you had a right-sized coin add an additional input that all goes to
