I was going to ask this question, whether you think this feature would be implemented in Electrum...
I think most wallets will have it in the future and so will Electrum server runners. Look at it the same way SegWit started out all those years ago. It took a while, but now everyone is using it.
Even today, I find it incredible to see transactions below 1 sat/vByte with BTC worthing more than 100k
It seemed impossible until a few years ago
If you think about it, it makes sense that you would pay less sats in fees when those sats are worth more in fiat terms. As bitcoin's value increases, so does the value of the fees you pay. 200 sats today and 200 sats 10 years ago are two completely different things in dollar terms.
Does this less fee of 0.1sat/Vbyte permanent when you follow the instructions and always implement it in any transaction that you want to send, or when the network is congested, it becomes impossible. However, I know that even though you cannot use the fee lesser than 1sat/vByte, when the network is congested, but will the transaction fee still be lower than the transaction fee of those that just send their coins like that.
Unless miners change their minds and stop supporting below 1 sat/vByte transactions, they will remain a permanent option on the network. You still have some that don't support them and mine blocks that entail only transactions where users paid at least 1 sat/vByte.
Nothing has changed. Before sending a Bitcoin transaction, you should take a look at the state of unconfirmed transactions then consider how important it is for you to get a quick confirmation. Based on that, it's easier to decide how much to pay. If you can afford to wait, then pay less and wait. You can always use the RBF feature if your priority changes.

From which website did you take that screenshot? I like that it shows different categories of unconfirmed transactions even below 1 sat/vByte.
Is it possible to do it with Sparrow wallet at the moment? was looking through the docs and command line options but not seeing it. Have a full node if it matters
Not with an official release of the Sparrow Wallet. You can do it with
this version but you must also be connected to a server that has edited its settings to support these types of transactions. It's supposed to become part of the official 2.2.4 release in the future.
