Just now I watched the gas jump again—looks like the mempool is jammed up like a morning rush-hour subway.

Honestly, when I didn’t understand before, I would often just hit “speed up” directly. The result was that miners ended up draining my wallet first. After I got rug-pulled, I finally understood: queueing is basically you staring at the pending status and getting uneasy—either the tx gets stuck because the gas is too low, or suddenly someone drops a bunch of high-gas orders and cuts in line. Now I just set a medium gas first, wait a few confirmations, then “follow up” if needed.

But no—lately, the chain gaming side’s economy has collapsed. The studios are疯狂出货, and gas has been pulled up again. Retail trades get stuck straight into a slideshow/ppt. I’m at a loss.

Let’s leave it at that. Either way, I’m not even sure how long this congestion will last.
