This is summary for a submission by Ruben Somsen on
bitcoin-dev
on censorship resistant transactions.
Bitcoin transactions with light client
wallets involve
addition of transaction fees as incentive for miners to include the transaction
to the blockchain through the process of mining. This creates a win-win
situation.
First, without any specific conditions, miners get paid the fees provided the transaction gets included in a valid chain with the most proof-of-work.
Secondly, the user enjoys the benefit of his transaction being added to the
blockchain. The fees also ensure the security of transaction on the network as
miners cannot ignore the transactions or other miners will process it because
it has a reward attached.
For the full node Bitcoin Core however,
conditions for adding transactions to the blockchain are more specific, one of
which is that transactions can only be added to a block with a block height
that is one higher than the last.
