For the
live update of the total number of unconfirmed transactions, you can check it here:
https://blockchain.info/unconfirmed-transactions.
Currently (
time of my post), we have
3,000 Pending tx which suggest a 30sat/byte tx fee for fast transactions.
you can NOT get the suggested fee from that link or generally any link that is only telling you the number of unconfirmed transactions! there may be 10k unconfirmed tx but paying 10 s/b give you a high priority or there may be 10k unconfirmed tx but 500 s/b give you a high priority.
it depends on how much fee others are paying, and you can't get that from above link.
If you can't speculate the tx fee base on the rate of growth of the number of unconfirmed transactions. Just visit:
And use the
green recommended sat/byte transaction fee.
this site is terrible 90% of the times for fee estimations when it comes to low amounts. it actually always suggests a much higher fee. specially during fee drops.
Electrum itself suggests a much better fee estimation and if you set it to mempool estimation it becomes even better.
you can also use
https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h scroll down to mempool size in bytes and then figure out which level falls above 1-1.5 MB and pay that much for a high priority.
