A bigger problem though is transaction clearing time, I just moved a bit to buy some equipment before end of year (tax deductible and I need this stuff) and it still hasn't confirmed.
If this keeps up I may have to use Litecoin.
Mempool is growing bigtime. Make sure to include a good fee for quick confirmation.
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#24hI have 2 fairly large transactions totally stuck - even though I put them through as 'fast' by believing my BTC Core wallet's advice.

Yeah - I just sent some of the unspent change over with a 271 / byte tx fee in the hope it would unlock the previous transactions with a tempting fee, but it still looks grim for the lot - no confs on that either!.
I could have it all stuck for days. I reckon it's a risk to send anything under 300 sats / b at this rate - steady as you go with trying to send any BTC around, you could be waiting a long time!
