💬 ismaelsadeeq commented on pull request "rpc: Add importmempool RPC":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27460#discussion_r1178919301)
Approach ACK
I think here since "apply_unbroadcast_set": True` option is added, we should test mempool unbroadcast set list, else there would be no need for the second option.
```suggestion
assert_equal({}, self.nodes[0].importmempool(mempooldat0, {"apply_fee_delta_priority": True, "apply_unbroadcast_set": True}))
assert_equal(2, self.nodes[0].getmempoolinfo()['unbroadcastcount'])

Could you try again with the latest release? (24.0.1) Also, what is the story with this wallet? Was it created with Bitcoin Core back in 2018? How did you load it into your v22.0 node?

@jamesob using the system monitor desktop app in Ubuntu, and I believe also based on the log messages. I'll double check this next time I run it.

concept ACK

a high level question: the privacy benefit comes from the guarantees of using the altnets - the lifecycle of the connection is expected to reveal that the tx is an initial broadcast. if a spy is able to reliably fingerprint a node between networks, this mechanism could potentially degrade privacy. could it be worthwhile to mitigate this by occasionally broadcast non-wallet txs via the same short-lived connections? obv some big tradeoffs, just want to consider the possibility

Disagree with:

opened regardless of max connections limits

The connection should be established after another tor/i2p connection is dropped - this way the connection appears to be just another connection - nothing special about it.

It may also be useful to randomize the duration of the connection?

Additionally - padding the connection with dummy txs during its lifecycle may help obfuscate the real payload?
