Okay thank you. Yes I just get in the habit of click click click and thinking that it usually automates everything pretty good for me. But for some reason this time it was way off. Lesson learned I'll slow down a little bit. Thanks for your replies
You can also set your fee-slider settings to "
mempool" instead of "
ETA".
ETA (
Estimated Time of Arrival) for the next block will usually suggest the highest fee possible even if the
1mb-from-tip fee isn't that high.
For mempool, you just have to pick "
1/0.5mB from tip" and you have a choice to decrease/increase it a little manually depending on your liking.
If you're using v3.3.8, it's in the 'Preferences' ; if you're using v4.0.1/v4.0.2, it's just the drop-down menu beside the fee slider.
