+"""Test mempool persistence.
+
+By default, bitcoind will dump mempool on shutdown and
+then reload it on startup. This can be overridden with
+the -persistmempool=false command line option.
+
+Test is as follows:
+
+  - start node0, node1 and node2. node1 has -persistmempool=false
+  - create 5 transactions on node2 to its own address. Note that these
+    are not sent to node0 or node1 addresses because we don't want
+    them to be saved in the wallet.
+  - check that node0 and node1 have 5 transactions in their mempools
+  - shutdown all nodes.
+  - startup node0. Verify that it still has 5 transactions
+    in its mempool. Shutdown node0. This tests that by default the
+    mempool is persistent.
+  - startup node1. Verify that its mempool is empty. Shutdown node1.
+    This tests that with -persistmempool=false, the mempool is not
+    dumped to disk when the node is shut down.
+  - Restart node0 with -persistmempool=false. Verify that its mempool is
+    empty. Shutdown node0. This tests that with -persistmempool=false,
+    the mempool is not loaded from disk on start up.
+  - Restart node0 with -persistmempool=true. Verify that it has 5
+    transactions in its mempool. This tests that -persistmempool=false
+    does not overwrite a previously valid mempool stored on disk.
