Today, the blockchain was congested again for a while.
That feeling of "waiting in line to enter" in the mempool really feels like rush hour on the subway:
You think clicking send is the end of it, but actually you just got a number, and then it depends on whether the miners/packagers are willing to pay attention to you.
Someone ahead of you pays extra to cut in line, someone cancels and resubmits, and your transaction gets stuck, neither going through nor dropping out.
The longer you wait, the more your patience explodes, and slippage might even give you a little extra punch…
Anyway
