Just checked the mempool and it’s totally congested again. I posted a transaction and it just sat there for half a day with no movement. In the end I had to force it through by paying high gas. The slippage immediately blew up (I already suffered this loss before when I didn’t adjust the market-making parameters properly). Actually, this is when strategy matters most—some people are eager to sprint ahead, while others wait to pick up the scraps. Personally, I’m used to scanning the queue status in the pending pool first, then deciding whether to raise my bid or just wait for the next block. Recently, the group has started going crazy spreading all kinds of de-peg FUD rumors. Even though the audit reports are right there in front of everyone, some people are still getting led by the nose—pretty annoying. Anyway, I only look at the data I can verify myself. If I believe in it, I’ll stay; if I don’t, I’ll leave. Don’t follow the emotions.
