I just made another transaction on the chain, and there are a bunch of people queuing in the mempool. It really gives me a sense of helplessness—like, “Did I fail to cut in line?”… After you click confirm, it’s basically like holding a ticket and standing outside the window waiting to be called: if someone bids higher, they can get packaged faster; if you don’t, you slowly inch forward, and as you inch along it might expire, or even be replaced by your own updated bid. When the network is congested, I’ll pause—don’t force it; pause and check whether the fees are ridiculous. And when you’re waiting, don’t keep doom-refreshing the market and stirring up your own anxiety. Lately, I’ve also become a bit wary about that kind of staking where the returns stack, getting described as “nested”—“matryoshka doll” style. The busier the chain gets, the easier it is to take “queuing” for granted. Anyway, I’d rather go slower, even pay more, to make sure I understand the whole path clearly. That’s it for now.
