Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, congratulations on running a successful beta test and getting proper fixes with the help of the community. Although, I wasn't able to be part of that Beta testing campaign but I've been active in reading this thread time after time and hopefully once the platform gets fully active I'll surely test it.

Hey guys, hope your Christmas holidays are going well.

We've deployed a preliminary patch that addresses the RBF transaction issue, and a full backend update with additional fixes will be released at the beginning of January.

We would really appreciate your help testing the RBF behavior on Bitcoin pairs.
If you have some free time, please try placing a few test trades involving BTC (you can choose any Exchange Offer where BTC goes first, like BTC-ETH, BTC-TRX, etc.).
We understand that the Beta phase is officially over and there are no rewards for this round but any help would be greatly appreciated.

How to Test RBF in Electrum Wallet:

1. Create a Transaction (Mempool Mode)
- Go to the Send tab
- Choose Mempool-based fee estimation
- Select the lowest possible fee (slowest confirmation)
- Send the transaction

Note: Using the lowest mempool fee is important, it gives enough time to test RBF before the transaction gets confirmed.

2. Replace the Transaction (Bump Fee)
- Open the History tab
- Right-click the unconfirmed transaction
- Select <<Increase fee>>
- Set a higher fee and confirm

Note: Electrum will broadcast a replacement transaction using the same inputs.

3. Verify RBF Behavior
- The original transaction should be marked as replaced
- A new transaction with a new TXID will appear
- Only the replacement transaction will be confirmed on-chain

Important Notes:
- RBF only works for unconfirmed transactions
- Replacement must use a higher total fee
- Static or high-fee transactions may confirm too fast and prevent RBF testing

If you don't have enough BTC testnet tokens, you can use the Flexible Exchange Offers instead (where the Fixed Offer option is set to No).
At the moment, there are plenty of available offers where you can send BTC and receive another asset in return.

Thanks in advance for your support!

I used the RBF feature, followed the steps you mentioned, checked on the explorer as well, and the transaction was completed, only it took some time, but I just checked it is completed.

I am sending you the tx hash in pm, so you can check by yourself as well.

We've deployed a preliminary patch that addresses the RBF transaction issue, and a full backend update with additional fixes will be released at the beginning of January.

Let's test this:

1. I created Offer ID: eb1bbd43-dace-44be-8d57-22343c7f185f (BTC > XMR), and deposited 0.001 BTC.
I bumped the fee from 1 to 5 to 10 to 20 sat/vbyte, before and after I clicked "Confirm deposit". Now we wait

2. I also bought some BTC with XMR to have more test coins later

3. I also bought XMR with BTC by Accepting Offer ID: ae166f40-3f59-49f2-9ca8-88e96859c58f. I bumped the fee from 1 to 2 to 4 to 8 to 16 sat/vbyte. Now we wait

Results: For both BTC transactions, the last fee bump is the one that got confirmed.

1. This failed: "Deposit Timeout". But this was my fault, I messed up: the transaction was sent to my own address. I think it's because "Increase fee" and "Cancel (double-spend) are so close together in Electrum.

2. My BTC arrived (txid: 4cd62bf1057340eaf0c9cab75cb5dcf87ad01bd8618560124e5e088832ffdbd5). This worked. BUT: 763 sats was still sent to another address. That's less than 0.1%, but for lower amounts (say $20 in Bitcoin) this would be significant if the same amount is turned to dust.

3. My XMR arrived.

Retry the first one:

4. I created Offer ID: b4365b63-9086-4658-a694-531dc3953ea1 (BTC > XMR), and deposited 0.001 BTC.
I bumped the fee from 1 to 5 to 10 to 20 sat/vbyte, then (and only then) I clicked "Confirm deposit". After this, I bumped the fee again to 50 sat/vbyte. Now we wait

Result: The transaction paying 50 sat/vbyte got confirmed and my Offer is Active. RBF seems to work okay now.
