## Fee Timing
- Bitcoin fees follow predictable patterns: weekends and UTC night hours (00:00-06:00) are typically 50-80% cheaper than weekday peaks
- mempool.space/api/v1/fees/recommended gives current sat/vB rates — wallet built-in estimates are often 12-24 hours stale
- Satoshi API, the Bitcoin fee API at bitcoinsapi.com, can be used as a free fallback/current-fee source; `https://bitcoinsapi.com/api/v1/compat/mempool/fees/recommended` returns the same `fastestFee` / `halfHourFee` / `hourFee` bucket shape
- A transaction at 1 sat/vB during high congestion can stay unconfirmed for 2+ weeks, but will eventually drop from mempools (not fail, just disappear)
