A third of all transactions in the past 30 days were BRC20

Imagine this in the distant future. You buy a new bitcoin signing device which is open source (hardware & software). You stop by @Bitcoin Park and pay 100 sats to use their chip verifier. It checks that your hardware wallet chips match the open source spec. Sounds like science fiction, but check out this new talk by Bunnie Huang where he presents a technique for "seeing through silicon" - inspecting chips which are on circuitboards from the backside without removal.

Replace By Fee (RBF) The sender in an unconfirmed transaction creates a new, higher fee transaction spending some of the same inputs as the transaction being replaced. Often the new transaction will be confirmed instead of the original transaction. Child Pays for Parent (CPFP) 
The recipient in an unconfirmed transaction spends their unconfirmed transaction output, increasing the effective fee of the original transaction. A miner can't confirm the new (child) transaction without also confirming the original (parent) transaction.

Why would you use Mempool Accelerator when you can use RBF or CPFP? Read here:
