I haven't sent any BTC in over a year ( #hodl) but is it really $4 to send a basic tx? And that's "low"??!

It's also amazing that I live in the crypto space (granted not so much the BTC space) and I have NO idea what fee is reasonable.

I don't even know what to google to get the fee I should set.

Guys. We have to fix this.

For the record, no one googles "BTC mempool" nor "jochen-hoenicke" to figure out what fee they should use to send a fucking transaction.

I'll keep you guys posted on our little adventure.

So I overpaid for my required needs even when I manually lowered the fee by "a lot"
