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.

Also FYI my mempool has a 1500 MB setting. TIA
