Take this transaction as an example:
https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/03d6e645fba49e07f3a4d8f173dce3ae590a5e0b06f28b367e29d7e64926019d
has 0.00339447 BTC fee for 15164 bytes, and it's almost 6% of what was actually transfered to users (0.05664565 BTC).
So the fee is ~0.0002260 BTC/kB
Another one is:
https://blockchain.info/tx/1d8e35cbcad0c7814fde8c0e775259107e5adc32900263d9cc1358626a0ecb0b
0.0052392 BTC fee for 17561 bytes, so it's ~0.00030819 BTC/kB
Now example that didn't get through:
https://www.biteasy.com/blockchain/transactions/e9ee41881cb7d38308ac80bb204b55da3877d7b64084872b7d78a4fc9aa9747e
0.00194831 BTC fee for 17426 bytes, so it's ~0.00011460 BTC/kB.
What matters is the fee/kB and you can see that we increased fees ~2-3x.
We continuously rebroadcast it. We would rather avoid reverting it though, as it could get messy. What's more plausible is that we'll just send double-spends with increased fees. Does anyone know a tool that'll make that easier? I don't want to mess around with raw transactions by hand
Increased fees definitely make a difference -- I wasn't aware that you changed them, .
So essentially, right now the weight is still growing, and "should" be a priority soon. Hopefully.
