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.
