I am surprised to see mempool.space here in bitcointalk . Anyway, welcome!

My question is : can you synchronise mempool.space to the blockchain.com Explorer?  I actually sent Bitcoin from my blockchain wallet and mempool.space was unable to detect the transaction. This is weird. The transaction ID is 42105820754888a816820be27bd8670b5789e82ffd9f88cb68446c1afe414fa9

. The link on blockchain Explorer is
blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/42105820754888a816820be27bd8670b5789e82ffd9f88cb68446c1afe414fa9
. When I search for it on mempool.space, it shows transaction not found.

your transaction pays 16sat/b
however mempool.space has a "no priority" minimum of 20sat/b meaning their mempool purged your transaction but blockchain.com did not purge it and still sees it as pending


Ok. I can agree with you on this. However, during that period, the fees were high but now, the fees are relatively moderate and with the same amount today as fees, the transaction should be confirmed.  In my own opinion, the transaction should be detected by mempool at least. This is unfair. I have sent fees of 10 sat/byte and mempool.space detected it.

your tx wont confirm fast because currently (2 hour ago)
fastestFee: 27 sat/vB
halfHourFee: 25 sat/vB
hourFee: 23 sat/vB
economyFee: 20 sat/vB

fees of 23sat/b took hour+
so you have to wait and hope your transaction out of the many that also pay 16sat/b get picked up

also mempools detecting it does not mean MINING pools pick it up. especially if there are megabytes of other transactions 17sat/b+ waiting ahead of you.. where by some mining pools only selectively choose a couple transactions outside of "highest first" policy. to appear helpful. would make those couple transactions of lesser fee just pot luck getting ahead of the queue
