    I saw this here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transaction_replacement And it doesn't really clarify if it got inserted into the official code or not. So did it?

    (P.S. I think it's a bad idea but just wanted to know :) )

    Is this what's inside the official code now? https://bitcoincore.org/en/faq/optin_rbf/

    The wiki is (always) outdated.

    Yes, transactions that explicitly indicate so are replaceable in the mempool in Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 and 0.12.1. See https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3urm8o/optin_rbf_is_misunderstood_ask_questions_about_it/ and https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0125.mediawiki.

    If you think it's a bad idea, that's fine; you don't need to use it.

    Thank You, As you said someone should really update the wiki :) One thing I just didn't understood in the BIP is this line: `Inherited signaling: Transactions that don't explicitly signal replaceability are replaceable under this policy for as long as any one of their ancestors signals replaceability and remains unconfirmed.

    Does it mean you can RBF a transaction without setting the nSequence to UNIT_MAX-1?

    Feel free to update the wiki yourself...
