BTC: Replacement Fee-Rate Bump (Median Multiple)

Included with Plus.

The median fee-rate multiple paid by replacements over the transactions they replaced.

Why use it. It shows how much people pay to jump the queue when they replace: 1.1x is a nudge, 2x a serious push. How to read it. A rising multiple means replacements are costing more than the transactions they replace.

Calculation. For each replacement with both fee rates known, new fee rate / old fee rate; the median per day. Fees come from our node's mempool entries when each transaction arrived. Observed by our own Bitcoin node from 9 November 2026, from every transaction it accepts: a transaction spending an output some other waiting transaction already spent has replaced it. No earlier values are reconstructed. Other nodes see slightly different replacements; a replacement that reaches a miner without passing through our node is not observed.
