I saw this several times today as well.

E.g. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/actions/runs/10962755696/job/30442729104?pr=29346

mzumsande commented at 7:58 pm on September 20, 2024: contributor

I think that the problem is in how fill_mempool works with multiple nodes: If node0 submits transactions so fast that they are being evicted from the mempool before they could be sent out to other peers, then the other peers will never see them, admit (and later remove) them from their mempool and therefore won’t raise their minfee.

Not sure if this can be fixed within p2p_1p1c_network.py or if some sort of intermediate sync_mempool calls would need to be added to fill_mempool after the first couple of transactions.

Encountered this in PR #30946 as well.

Thanks @mzumsande for the detailed analysis and suggested fix. I’ve submitted it as #30948 to address the intermittent failure sooner rather than later. I hope it is fine.

mzumsande commented at 5:03 pm on September 23, 2024: contributor

Of course, if I’d been planning on opening a fix myself I would have mentioned that. I wasn’t sure how to fix this best, see also my comment in the PR.
