I'm not familiar with the space. Could someone explain why uoylj's (sibling) comment is [dead]? Here is the comment's text, for reference:

"The Replace-By-Fee flag in Bitcoin is effectively a built-in paid accelerator that covers all miners. I think the reason inefficiencies like this exist is because a lot of wallets either don't implement it or don't have it on by default."

You can click on the time in the comment and then vouch for it to revive.

I do most of my HN browsing from the app Materialistic, which doesn't support this (or downvoting, or showing scores on comments — most of these are features in my book).
