Thanks for the reply.  Would not the getmempoolinfo command show me how much it would take to get into my node's mempool?  Here is the output of that command:


16:23:13

getmempoolinfo

16:23:13

{
  "loaded": true,
  "size": 72900,
  "bytes": 197306637,
  "usage": 625216656,
  "maxmempool": 1500000000,
  "mempoolminfee": 0.00001000,
  "minrelaytxfee": 0.00001000
}


That said, while I understand the fee is low, should it not still exist in my mempool considering that the minrelaytxfee is 0.00001000? My understand is that since this transaction is ~8.2 sat/vB and that the virtual size is 168 vB with the total fee being BTC 0.00001379, then it should be there in my local node's mempool yet it is not. TIA
