🔍 The Hidden Feature: RBF Attack Radar
While most apps show you the mempool, mine logs every getmempoolentry error with timestamps, exposing:
* Stealth RBF replacements (even when the original tx didn’t opt-in!)
* Miner frontrunning (high-fee txs "kicking out" low-fee ones)
* Mempool anomalies (transactions disappearing due to policy shifts)
This isn’t just data—it’s a live feed of Bitcoin’s hidden replace-by-fee wars.
📊 Why This Matters
* Proof of Silent RBF: Catch miners breaking BIP 125 rules.
* Friday Fee Spikes: Watch in real-time as aggressive replacements surge before weekends.
* 0-Conf Risk Intel: See which transactions are most likely to get dumped.
🛠️ How to Use It
If you’re running Blockchaininfo, check your logs—you’re already collecting this gold. Soon, I’ll roll out:
✅ Real-time RBF alerts
✅ Mempool replacement heatmaps (Fridays = 🔥)
✅ Public dashboard (so we can shame greedy miners together)
💡 Example Finding
"At 15:32 UTC, a non-RBF transaction was replaced by a +300% fee bump. F2Pool mined the new one 2 blocks later. Coincidence?"
This is forensic-grade Bitcoin sleuthing—and you get it for free.
