There were lots of low bid inscription transactions in the mempool. It will likely get worse as we clear the mempools (assuming we do).
We wrote almost 3x as many inscriptions yesterday as we did two months ago when everyone was freaking out and fees went ballistic. That was a new record and we could probably set more new records if we can clear the backlog sitting below 3 sat/vB.
The total size of the mempools keeps shrinking and that’s what matters. 🤷♂️
