Replace-by-Fee Tools

Tools to test out RBF functionality.

Requirements: Python3 and python-bitcoinlib v0.12

To test out full-rbf functionality, the full-rbf-peering patch may be useful: https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin/tree/full-rbf-v25.0

Double Spend

Basic usage:

./doublespend.py <address> <amount>

Creates two transactions in succession. The first pays the specified amount to the specified address. The second double-spends that transaction with a transaction with higher fees, paying only the change address. In addition you can optionally specify that the first transaction additional OP-RETURN, multisig, and "blacklisted" address outputs. Some miners won't accept transactions with these output types; those miners will accept the second double-spend transaction, helping you achieve a succesful double-spend.
