Arriving slightly late to the discussion, apologies.<br>
<br>
Personally I wouldn't have written that patch, but I know
development of hostile patches happens out of sight, and if it can
be written, we have to presume it will be written eventually. I'd
have preferred a patch that only replaced non-final txes, which is
the use-case I have for transaction replacement, but that's easy to
add back in.<br>
<br>
I'm certainly not terribly convinced of the security of vanilla
zero-confirmation transactions myself, for reasons including but not
limited to this case. I also think it's important to understand that
people do make irrational decisions, and trusting network security
on everyone behaving perfectly rationally is not a workable model
either.<br>
<br>
TLDR; me too<br>
