I don't want to spend $40 to consolidate here. I guess I'll just have to wait. And wait & wait & wait???
Maybe only a much higher BTC price will stop those ords from infesting the mempool....
There is no option other than to wait. While you wait, feel free to use altcoins with low transaction fees. There is simply no other option.
Btw I think transaction fees will go way high when bitcoin price increases because we have experienced similar fee issues during bull runs when there were no ordinals.
It's a pain, but the only option is to wait. Consolidating multiple small inputs have been impossible impractical since October and looms to remain so for sometime more.
It was my huge mistake to combine small inputs into a single one, today I can't do it. I need to make a Bitcoin transaction, even with the coins control option on Electrum, making a transaction with 1 input and 1 output costs me a lot, but it isn't worth it.
If you're in a hurry, try using a transaction accelerator and a lower fee (above the minimum for the mempool now).
Which free transaction accelerator? ViaBTC is immediately filled and there is no other free transaction accelerator. Paid ones cost too much to handle.
