Not sure what you mean, seems you are arguing in the reverse direction or talking past?

I'm thinking the main use-case is for a miner or pool to increase priority of a transaction due to them getting paid out-of-band. While that is bad from a centralization aspect, having such a facility in unpatched versions of Bitcoin Core means miners/pools have an easier time keeping their nodes up-to-date (less moving parts), meaning they are more responsive to our releases.

Ah, totally missed that. Cheers!

Not sure what they add, it's not like there other transactions in the way. I guess they test that nothing funky is going on with the prioritization-logic resulting in dusty transactions being accepted when they shouldn't be.

Looks like iwyu is still complaining about some of the includes:
```
[08:23:24.120] (/ci_container_base/src/net_processing.h has correct #includes/fwd-decls)
[08:23:24.120]
[08:23:24.120] /ci_container_base/src/net_processing.cpp should add these lines:
[08:23:24.120]
[08:23:24.120] /ci_container_base/src/net_processing.cpp should remove these lines:
[08:23:24.120] - #include <deploymentstatus.h> // lines 21-21

That's an upstream bug. Maybe a separate issue can be used to track those?

There are two places where we disallow modified fees to take effect:

1) prioritisetransaction, when the transaction is already in the mempool
2) on entry to mempool, in PreChecks

This ensures the invariant that unspent dust doesn't enter the utxo set ever (modulo reducing minrelay and block mining fee to 0).

We're assuming node operators/miners care about dust. If they do not, they can already

Correct, it would cut it off.

No. However there is [bpf_probe_read_user_str()](https://docs.ebpf.io/linux/helper-function/bpf_probe_read_user_str/) which does that. This generally seems to be the better suited methodology here. I'll use that for the changes in this PR. There are other plac

Correct, this is an oversight from an older version of this PR. Likely related to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25832#discussion_r1692884230.

Left a comment, I think my one-liner is the cleanest correct solution?

But we are adding a new option here `privatebroadcast`. Could we not change the semantics of `connect` *if* the new option `privatebroadcast` is used?

primary change is the tracing commit, which seems to make sense though I am not an expert

Good catch. I confirmed that the `a`'s actually show up in the tracing scripts and are cut off. I think it's fine to leave 68 in the tests, but I'll add a footnote in the docs in a separate commit.

(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29415#discussion_r1840474930)
Yeah, you are right that `-connect=0 -privatebroadcast=1` did not exist before because `-privatebroadcast=` did not exist. Then the semantic of `-connect=0` would be "do this if privatebroadcast=0 and do something else if privatebroadcast=1". I do not like that, seems convoluted and a possible source of confusion to make the behavior of one option dependent on the value of another option. I would like to have less of that stuff, not more.

@sdaftuar since you're the one who introduced this flag IIRC, mind weighing in?

I think this can be handled on the user side. The bpftrace tool cuts of strings after 64 chars by default and bcc and libbpf both have [bpf_probe_read_user_str()](https://docs.ebpf.io/linux/helper-function/bpf_probe_read_user_str/), which would replace the last char with `\0` on overflow.

I haven't had any problems with this using the tracepoints in Python and Rust. I did a quick check with a C program, and using `bpf_probe_read_user_str()` seems fine: https://github.com/0xB10C/libbpf-bootst

@fjahr @ismaelsadeeq ``txfeerate`` is now deprecated, but I kept it hidden. IMO it makes sense to have a deprecated rpc call hidden as only users who were using it before should know about it and may need info, they can continue using ``help settxfee``

I suppose I can `addnode` my trusted node for now, but I will be leaking other outbound connections.
I'm not sure how to handle my case unless we don't consider the ephemeral broadcast connections as true "connections" in the sense of `connect` option.
