I just did another payment today. I get it ready on my wallet, and of course I check mempool dot space live, to make sure. It's 1 sat/VB across the board, low, medium, high. So I say alright here we go, sweet.

That was two hours ago, so I just checked the transaction because the receiver doesn't say anything, and of course now the ETA is "not anytime soon". The last blocks are showing 3, 4, 5 SATs. Well at least my tx wasn't purged.

I'll wait amd risk it, I guess?

But then I remember, mempool dot has that accelerator thing, so hey maybe I can learn something today and get this payment done too.

So by default the accelerator thing tells me to pay -- I'm not kidding -- 60,000 sats to boost this mf. OK maybe some moron will just do it, but I can see the "customize" button too. Unfortunately the cheapest option of gives me is still stupid, at 10 sats, when the highest right now is just 4. What the fuck, mempool dot thief?

So I go back to my own wallet and realize it also has an "accelerate" button. And it actually allows me to fulky set the fee myself. Nice!

This is the first time I use this feature, and I have to say I am really really pleased with it.

Everyday something new to learn.
