Use bitcoin-cli getmempoolinfo
to determine the lower bound feerate #4473
Closed
Description
With the mempool full, and the minrelayfee no longer being the lower bound on fees we should likely use getmempoolinfo
where available to compute the lower bound instead. It's a bit ugly that this is no longer a constant, so maybe we can round up a bit, to ensure the min mempool fee doesn't creep up while we're preparing a transaction.
This should prevent us from creating transactions that are rejected outright, and thus having funds stuck and channel opens that are not going anywhere.
In addition, rebroadcasting transactions on a regular basis could allow us to catch a moment where the min mempool fee is low, but that's likely something that is better tackled in the transaction nursery by @rustyrussell.
