Re: I know it's a bit random

I know it's random and blocks are only found on average once every 10 minutes. And there is the conformation bias, but I am beginning to think I *do* have a superpower and it's the ability to stop blocks from being found.
Sent a 6 sat/vb transaction 40 minutes ago, seconds after the last block. And now....no blocks for 40+ minutes.

And 6 sat/vb is not going to happen for 4+ blocks.

Feels like every time I send a TX with *just enough* of a fee to probably make it into the next block.

Just a Friday complaint, back to your regularly scheduled forum reading.

6 sat/vb is still fine though.

But I understand your rant, it always happen to me, when I saw mempool and it's cheap like what you have seen lately at 6 sat/vb, then suddenly it will go on 14 sat/vb and damn, same feeling, if I could just have increased it a bit then it will be in the next block.

Now I felt that I just did it with just enough fee to be confirm maybe in the next 30 minutes or so.

And then watching it in mempool to be confirmed and hearing that sound.
