Just checked the on-chain mempool, and it’s really like waiting in line during rush hour to buy coffee… The transaction you send out is actually just “waiting there” first, miners/block producers pick and bundle them, and during congestion, whoever pays higher fees is more likely to get included first; paying less doesn’t necessarily mean failure, it just stalls, and over time it might be dropped by nodes, or you might need to replace or bump the fee and resend. The most annoying part is thinking that once you click send, it’s done, but the status stays pending, which can easily make you frustrated and start messing with parameters.
Recently, social mining and fan tokens are also a bit like queuing, attention gets crowded, and in the end, it’s still about who’s more willing to “pay a little more,” which is basically just another form of fee… Anyway, what I can do on my side is: don’t rush if you don’t have to, carefully check signatures/permissions first, and better to be slow than to cut corners. As for whether this is a pseudo-issue or not, what do you think?
