Jar picked prior to other participants that could service the collaborative request

[Whatnam8]

Expected behavior

My Jar, due to fee amount should not have been selected for a smaller transaction where other participants easily filled the needs

Actual behavior

My Jar was picked before other participants with lower fees that could easily service the smaller denomination

Steps to reproduce the problem
Could provide UXTO as it currently says it won’t be processed anytime soon

Specifications

• Version: Latest
• Platform: Start9
• Browser: onion iOS

Additional context

How long can that UXTO be held hostage by a non priority sats/byte fee for miners?

If I understand correctly, you have been participating in a collaborative transaction with a low fee value that needs longer to confirm? That is an unfortunate scenario and can be prevented once JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver#721 (JoinMarket-Org/joinmarket-clientserver#1602) is implemented. Till then, the only things you can do is 1) wait or 2) CPFP the transaction.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the information, when will this be implemented or estimated implementation time? Also I’ve only done CPFP through sparrow, what’s the best way to do it through Jam? On mempool or something else?

As far as I am aware: No, there is no estimate. Providing feedback on the linked issue is always a good idea and signals open source developers that there is interest in certain features. I am sure the devs will appreciate any and all feedback. 🙏

To do a CPFP transaction you have to freeze all other UTXOs in the Jar and do a sweep (using only the one unconfirmed output) with a high enough fee for the miners to pick it up. However, if you are not in a hurry, you can always wait for the TX to confirm naturally or for someone else to CPFP.
