Bitcoin Forum

Hi all,

Its is sad to see that after so many years, still a user has to go through various different sites like https://bitcoinfees.github.io/ , http://bitcoinfees.21.co/ to understand why his tx is unconfirmed. Then also the information on these sites is so technical, that the user would rather do a post on reddit.

So we need an alternative to bitcoinfees. Here are the features:

• User will input a txid, and the website will tell estimated time / simple reason why its not confirmed
• Reasons can be low fee / spending an unconfirmed input from a low fee tx
• Will also suggest a possible solution ... wait or construct a RBF transction
• A graphical UI showing the estimated place of the tx in queue / network congestion

Why it will be better

• Open source and less resource intensive
• Written in python
• Better user interface
• Better prediction rate. I am not sure how to do this maybe we need a better statistical model  

Let me know your suggestions. If you can contribute to UI design / programming feel free to pitch in.

Bump. Anyone interested in such a project ?
