Real world example of transaction pinning affecting someone's Lightning node that was fixed earlier today by replace-by-fee-rate (via Libre Relay). Full write-up: https://groups.google.com/g/bitcoindev/c/n2GNmnz0btw/m/IemUVKBoAgAJ

Interesting farming tech.

Surprisingly cash-positive language! Seems like a pretty recent initiative. https://atm.bancontact.cash/nl/bancontact-cash-brussel-anspach-the-mint-2481

Heh, I actually just ran into transaction pinning in real life: so LND v0.18 has a new sweeper scheme, that, long story short, is trying to "sweep" both nearly worthless anchor outputs, and valuable outputs, from some LN channels I closed in the same transaction. The anchor outputs are past their 16 block timeout, so someone else is trying to sweep them in a huge 3sat/vB transaction paying ~60,000 in fees. Far more than I can afford! But still a low fee-rate. On my replace-by-fee-rate nodes the sweep will eventually succeed once LND picks a high enough fee rate (it repeatedly RBFs the sweeps). It might even get mined, either on a pool like F2Pool with short mempool expiration, or in the near future when <BIG POOL> turns on RBFR like they told me they would Soon™.
