From db3d58c586b9f2972414a07b09980db710428c7a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wilmer Paulino Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2023 16:02:17 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add new ConfirmationTarget variant for min mempool feerates Now that we support channels with anchor outputs, we add a new ConfirmationTarget variant that, for now, will only apply to such channels. This new variant should target estimating the minimum feerate required to be accepted into most node mempools across the network. --- fuzz/src/chanmon_consistency.rs | 2 +- lightning/src/chain/chaininterface.rs | 17 +++++++++++++---- 2 files changed, 14 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/fuzz/src/chanmon_consistency.rs b/fuzz/src/chanmon_consistency.rs index 8f2c30ffa..cd9c484da 100644 --- a/fuzz/src/chanmon_consistency.rs +++ b/fuzz/src/chanmon_consistency.rs @@ -78,7 +78,7 @@ impl FeeEstimator for FuzzEstimator { // Background feerate which is <= the minimum Normal feerate. match conf_target { ConfirmationTarget::HighPriority => MAX_FEE, - ConfirmationTarget::Background => 253, + ConfirmationTarget::Background|ConfirmationTarget::MempoolMinimum => 253, ConfirmationTarget::Normal => cmp::min(self.ret_val.load(atomic::Ordering::Acquire), MAX_FEE), } } diff --git a/lightning/src/chain/chaininterface.rs b/lightning/src/chain/chaininterface.rs index d875dcce3..4204d714f 100644 --- a/lightning/src/chain/chaininterface.rs +++ b/lightning/src/chain/chaininterface.rs @@ -35,15 +35,24 @@ pub trait BroadcasterInterface { fn broadcast_transactions(&self, txs: &[&Transaction]); } -/// An enum that represents the speed at which we want a transaction to confirm used for feerate +/// An enum that represents the priority at which we want a transaction to confirm used for feerate /// estimation. #[derive(Clone, Copy, Debug, Hash, PartialEq, Eq)] pub enum ConfirmationTarget { - /// We are happy with this transaction confirming slowly when feerate drops some. + /// We'd like a transaction to confirm in the future, but don't want to commit most of the fees + /// required to do so yet.
