estimatefee / estimatepriority RPC methods New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of blocks. Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees. It works as follows: For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm, keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions. (separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because they are high-priority) The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory. A few variations on Mike's initial scheme: To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets, all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine 25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the 150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc. That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay 12 uBTC and it will take LONGER". A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm the estimates.

/**
* CTxMemPool stores valid-according-to-the-current-best-chain
* transactions that may be included in the next block.
*
* Transactions are added when they are seen on the network
* (or created by the local node), but not all transactions seen
* are added to the pool: if a new transaction double-spends
* an input of a transaction in the pool, it is dropped,
* as are non-standard transactions.
*
* CTxMemPool::mapTx, and CTxMemPoolEntry bookkeeping:
*
* mapTx is a boost::multi_index that sorts the mempool on 2 criteria:
* - transaction hash
* - feerate [we use max(feerate of tx, feerate of tx with all descendants)]
*
* Note: the term "descendant" refers to in-mempool transactions that depend on
* this one, while "ancestor" refers to in-mempool transactions that a given
* transaction depends on.
*
* In order for the feerate sort to remain correct, we must update transactions
* in the mempool when new descendants arrive. To facilitate this, we track
* the set of in-mempool direct parents and direct children in mapLinks. Within
* each CTxMemPoolEntry, we track the size and fees of all descendants.
*
* Usually when a new transaction is added to the mempool, it has no in-mempool
* children (because any such children would be an orphan). So in
* addUnchecked(), we:
* - update a new entry's setMemPoolParents to include all in-mempool parents
* - update the new entry's direct parents to include the new tx as a child
* - update all ancestors of the transaction to include the new tx's size/fee
*
* When a transaction is removed from the mempool, we must:
* - update all in-mempool parents to not track the tx in setMemPoolChildren
* - update all ancestors to not include the tx's size/fees in descendant state
* - update all in-mempool children to not include it as a parent
*
* These happen in UpdateForRemoveFromMempool(). (Note that when removing a
* transaction along with its descendants, we must calculate that set of
* transactions to be removed before doing the removal, or else the mempool can
* be in an inconsistent state where it's impossible to walk the ancestors of
* a transaction.)
*
* In the event of a reorg, the assumption that a newly added tx has no
* in-mempool children is false. In particular, the mempool is in an
* inconsistent state while new transactions are being added, because there may
* be descendant transactions of a tx coming from a disconnected block that are
* unreachable from just looking at transactions in the mempool (the linking
* transactions may also be in the disconnected block, waiting to be added).
* Because of this, there's not much benefit in trying to search for in-mempool
* children in addUnchecked(). Instead, in the special case of transactions
* being added from a disconnected block, we require the caller to clean up the
* state, to account for in-mempool, out-of-block descendants for all the
* in-block transactions by calling UpdateTransactionsFromBlock(). Note that
* until this is called, the mempool state is not consistent, and in particular
* mapLinks may not be correct (and therefore functions like
* CalculateMemPoolAncestors() and CalculateDescendants() that rely
* on them to walk the mempool are not generally safe to use).
*
* Computational limits:
*
* Updating all in-mempool ancestors of a newly added transaction can be slow,
* if no bound exists on how many in-mempool ancestors there may be.
* CalculateMemPoolAncestors() takes configurable limits that are designed to
* prevent these calculations from being too CPU intensive.
*
* Adding transactions from a disconnected block can be very time consuming,
* because we don't have a way to limit the number of in-mempool descendants.
* To bound CPU processing, we limit the amount of work we're willing to do
* to properly update the descendant information for a tx being added from
* a disconnected block. If we would exceed the limit, then we instead mark
* the entry as "dirty", and set the feerate for sorting purposes to be equal
* the feerate of the transaction without any descendants.

For example, imagine 25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the 150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc. That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater than or equal to the estimate for block N+1. It would clearly be wrong to say "pay 11 uBTC and you'll get confirmed in 3 blocks, but pay 12 uBTC and it will take LONGER". A single block will not contribute more than 10 entries to any one bucket, so a single miner and a large block cannot overwhelm the estimates.

estimatefee / estimatepriority RPC methods New RPC methods: return an estimate of the fee (or priority) a transaction needs to be likely to confirm in a given number of blocks. Mike Hearn created the first version of this method for estimating fees. It works as follows: For transactions that took 1 to N (I picked N=25) blocks to confirm, keep N buckets with at most 100 entries in each recording the fees-per-kilobyte paid by those transactions. (separate buckets are kept for transactions that confirmed because they are high-priority) The buckets are filled as blocks are found, and are saved/restored in a new fee_estiamtes.dat file in the data directory. A few variations on Mike's initial scheme: To estimate the fee needed for a transaction to confirm in X buckets, all of the samples in all of the buckets are used and a median of all of the data is used to make the estimate. For example, imagine 25 buckets each containing the full 100 entries. Those 2,500 samples are sorted, and the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the very next block is the 50'th-highest-fee-entry in that sorted list; the estimate of the fee needed to confirm in the next two blocks is the 150'th-highest-fee-entry, etc. That algorithm has the nice property that estimates of how much fee you need to pay to get confirmed in block N will always be greater than or equal to the estimate for block N+1.
