Generally overpaying would make for faster transactions. Not sure of specifics but if the sats/vb is higher now than what it was when you paid you’ll be in queue until those numbers align again.

RBF is “replace by fee” - if a transaction is stuck you can try to bump the fee to push it through. Explained better in below link.

Ok, so you paid 13 sats/vb. Right now fees are ~22sats for low priority, ~25sats for medium, ~30sats for high.

As long as those numbers are above 13, you’re going to be in mempool queue.

The original txn was overpaid, i clicked the red arrow and it led me to this page saying too low now? I dont understand. Why did it go from a to b to c? Is there anything i can do about it or do i have to just wait?

I’ve had it happen where mempool fees just happened to spike as the transaction was being broadcast… and it took a couple days to actually get confirmed. Just unlucky bad timing. I’ve always just waited it out.

This is the scenario where you could try replace-by-fee but it’s not something I can talk about from experience. You’d have to read up on it to see if that’s something you want to do. Sparrow is capable of it. I believe it will require you have more (equal amount) of funds available to replace the transaction currently in mempool.

Thanks, i appreciate you!

No problem. Good luck 👍
