Just moved some bitcoin and had 3 confirmations within 10mins. i paid the minimum fee that core required which was 0.00001433. i think bitcoin is working fine, and tells me that the transactions waiting confirmation must have no fee what so ever, would you agree?
Yes. Most often, when there is a massive backlog of txs pending in the mempool,
a large amount (probably around or over 85%) have an extremely low fee or no fee.
I do not think I have ever had it move so quickly in the network,this is a good thing for sure to be able to get 3 confirmations in such a short time. Love it,hopefully this is something that happens more often.
Getting 3 confirmations within 10 minutes is just very lucky and does not indicate any
change or anything to the Bitcoin network or protocol. This is normal and happens from time to time.
