Title: how long would you think it takes to send with a 1sat/byte fee?

Place your estimate on how long it will take to get one confirmation on a send transaction which I just sent 10 minutes ago with 1 satoshi / byte which ended up being 0.00000224 (2 cents USD)
 :D :D :D

Earn.com estimates 20-420 minutes: https://bitcoinfees.earn.com/

bitcoinfees.Earned.com has awesome graphs of the mempool, thanks!
It actually got 1 confirmation 7 minutes after!
I was quite amazed.  
Last time I used 150 sat/byte in December 20174 and it took almost an hour to get a confirmation.
I also remember back in 2014 I tried no fee at all, and it took about a week.  That was very stressful.  It was a couple bitcoin too!
