I just used free (yes fucking free) acceleration service from viaBTC to get my low fee TX over the line. It is available every hour with limited number of slots and allows you to submit on the hour if you are fast enough. Start monitoring it a minute before and then do the submission. No strings attached, AFAIK! πΆπΎπ«‘π«

Nice! I use the viaBTC pool didnβt realize this existed!
I found it some time ago but never had a need to use it until today. It was a good experience and worked flawlessly. πΆπΎπ«
I never realised that they had free slots! So open a Lightning channel with a low fee and submit every hour hoping you get lucky with one of the free slots?
I got it on the first hour, submit and wait for the next block they mine πΆπΎπ«‘π«
This is insane! Someone opened a channel to me with a fee that was too low to confirm. I took the TX ID and used this tool and viaBTC mined the TX! I'm not sure why they are doing this since it is costing the pool money so I wouldn't expect this to be around long term but enjoy it while you can!
This one only does rebroadcasting and thatβs all, nothing actually is accelerating there πΆπΎπ«‘
