/**
* Tracks transactions that are being announced across the network. Typically one is created for you by a
* {@link PeerGroup} and then given to each Peer to update. The current purpose is to let Peers update the confidence
* (number of peers broadcasting). It helps address an attack scenario in which a malicious remote peer (or several)
* feeds you invalid transactions, eg, ones that spend coins which don't exist. If you don't see most of the peers
* announce the transaction within a reasonable time, it may be that the TX is not valid. Alternatively, an attacker
* may control your entire internet connection: in this scenario counting broadcasting peers does not help you.
*
* It is not at this time directly equivalent to the Bitcoin Core memory pool, which tracks
* all transactions not currently included in the best chain - it's simply a cache.
