7% is a welcome development going forward but what about the transactions already languishing on the blockchain unconfirmed? I mean, are we going to just abandon them and hope it gets confirmed? Already, you can see the transactions have been retired, and then later added cyclically on the blockchain that is why we see them on the blockchain on some days and some other days don't and it's been going through this vicious cycle for a while now. As long as the fees remain what they are, they may never be confirmed for several more weeks or months. We already are preparing for a BTC bull run soon which would mean another increase in significant fees and more network congestion; if in this BTC bear, you cannot fix this unconfirmed txs, I fear we may be sitting ducks. The only logical step would be to accelerate them. I think if everyone with a transaction stuck right now is encouraged to send a few satoshis that would be pulled SOLELY to accelerate these transactions, people would respond to get their txs confirmed quickly. If you have a better idea, I am open to hear them asap because wishing this away isn't working. And please act fast! Be proactive!
