Saw someone on the services board offer this kind of service to users, although I'm not sure about his credibility or if it's even true.
If it is a paid service, then it is most likely a scam, all that person can do is rebroadcast your tx which is useless. Sometimes people come up claiming they can accelerate tx's for a fee, but they don't tell us the mining pool they cooperate with, don't trust such members
Personally speaking, if you're looking to process a transaction ASAP why not just use a different network instead of bitcoin?
I have never recommended that people use altcoins instead of BTC, but i see that some members are now recommending it whenever the fee rate goes high, so yea, it is fine if it works for you people.
It eventually passed a few hours back.
Good to know that the fee rate dropped and your tx got confirmed.
