I have changed the ways the
BTC withdrawal fees and now we take the fee/kb from
https://btc.com/stats/unconfirmed-tx .
I was about to say they got much lower now, but the values got high again. Right now the instant withdrawal fee is high again at 0.001680 BTC and batch is at 0.00084000 BTC as the mempool becomes full again :-(
Cheers,

All of those estimators are T-R-A-S-H. For the exact reasons as you outlined in a previous post (using historical data rather than real time).
I've had Xploited create an API call you can use to estimate your stuff. It's the same estimates that we use for our exchange and our swap tool.
Basically, This estimates the cost to go .75 MB deep in the chain at the time of the request. Each block usually takes 1mb off the chain, so it's isn't very aggressive and transactions can take some time to confirm. Being not aggressive kind of helps not contribute to unnecessary blockchain bloat.
I think you'll be shocked at the price difference and the speed these estimates confirm!
