"ancestorfees" : n, (numeric) modified fees (see above) of in-mempool ancestors (including this one) (DEPRECATED)
"wtxid" : "hex", (string) hash of serialized transaction, including witness data
"fees" : { (json object)
"base" : n, (numeric) transaction fee in BGL
"modified" : n, (numeric) transaction fee with fee deltas used for mining priority in BGL
"ancestor" : n, (numeric) modified fees (see above) of in-mempool ancestors (including this one) in BGL
"descendant" : n (numeric) modified fees (see above) of in-mempool descendants (including this one) in BGL
},
"depends" : [ (json array) unconfirmed transactions used as inputs for this transaction
"hex", (string) parent transaction id
...
],
"spentby" : [ (json array) unconfirmed transactions spending outputs from this transaction
"hex", (string) child transaction id
...
],
"bip125-replaceable" : true|false, (boolean) Whether this transaction could be replaced due to BIP125 (replace-by-fee)
