Back when the network was congested, I treated transactions like “lining up to buy bubble tea”… Ordering doesn’t mean it’s made right away; it gets put into the mempool to wait. Miners/validators will pick the more cost-effective ones to package first. If the fee you set isn’t enough, your transaction will keep getting ignored, and sometimes it gets displaced or ends up stuck—so long you even forget about it. What’s even more troublesome is that you get carried away by the mindset that you’re “already completed,” but in reality you’re just waiting in a queue at the door. Lately, the staking rewards and shared security earnings stacking up have been causing quite a commotion—I actually want to move slower instead. Don’t speed up just because there’s a jam; in the end, you find you’ve trapped yourself in a loop. Tea’s gone cold—take a sip, then confirm before you take the next step. That’s it for now—I’m going to cancel the pending transaction in my wallet and resend it.
