Abstract

Make a network node's transaction memory pool accessible via a new “mempool” message. Extend the existing “getdata” message behavior to permit accessing the transaction memory pool.

Motivation

Several use cases make it desireable to expose a network node's transaction memory pool:SPV clients, wishing to obtain zero-confirmation transactions sent or received.Miners, to avoid missing lucrative fees, downloading existing network transactions after a restart.Remote network diagnostics.
