Challenges with Mempool and Coin-Joint Transactions

The mempool's increasing fees pose a challenge for older coin-joint transactions with low fees, causing delays in confirmation and difficulty in bumping fee rates. The algorithm for fee bumping does not account for multiple branches in a coin joint, making fee recognition by miners ineffective.
