The bitcoin mempool is CRAZY right now. Sent out a transaction via my freebitco.in wallet, feels like it may pend till next week if not longer given it only was sent with a fee at ~54 sat/B. Is there any way I could pay freebitco.in to do replace-by-fee (RBF) or some other acceleration method? I'm not the recipient, so I can't do child-pays-for-parent (CPFP).
Anything? Thanks.
We found out what the problem was. We use the average of 3 different fee estimators and one of them (btc.com) has got stuck and not updated for 2 days which meant the average was too low. The good thing about that is that the fees btc.com are charging on their transaction accelerator are also low right now so we got most of the stuck transactions through.
Thanks, TheQuin! My transaction from about 31 hours ago got confirmed sometime recently. I also appreciate the links you shared and you taking the time to explain the situation. Cheers!
Transactions has never been a problem for me in freebitcoin because I have always used the automatic version, I do not need to have anything to check, I do not even see it coming until it is too late and in my wallet, that way I do not have to worry about the price neither.
Freebitcoin could make it as cheap as it could get to save money for themselves if they want to on my transaction because it could take 72 hours and I still wouldn't realize it, obviously there is some needed so that it would be picked so you can't make it free but I am down with however low they would go. However lets be honest, these guys have been one of the cheapest when it comes to withdrawal fee's, while other places took as much as 10 bucks, they did it for free for a long period of time if you were willing to wait and it was still quite cheap even when you wanted instantly, so we could give a break over some congesting in the blocks.
