Bitcoin developers want to fix the 'replace this transaction with a higher fee' button. Here's why

Bitcoin developers are обсуждаing a wallet-software change to remove explicit replace-by-fee (RBF) signaling from Bitcoin transactions. Since the network now effectively treats transactions as replaceable by default under full-RBF policy, the legacy opt-in flag is seen as redundant. Developers say keeping it creates a privacy problem because it leaves an on-chain fingerprint that can help identify which wallet software was used. The proposed fix is to standardize the default input sequence number, likely the widely used MAX-2 setting, so transactions from different wallets appear more uniform and are harder to track. The article is more about Bitcoin protocol/privacy housekeeping than market price action, so the likely market impact is limited and indirect, centered on incremental improvements to Bitcoin user privacy and wallet standardization.
