You learned that today? Sheesh.

My first full-rbf fork of Bitcoin Core with preferential peering was released in 2014.

It takes only about 10% of nodes to somewhat reliably propagate a transaction. Even fewer are enough if they preferentially peer like Libre Relay does (TIL!). So, yes, it’s not effective.

So in other words... attempts to 'filter' transactions successfully by running a client with 'stricter' mempool policy than core... is pretty much hopeless?
