Description
For example calling `estimatefee 24` I get:
`0.00000999`, that is lower than `DEFAULT_MIN_RELAY_TX_FEE`.
Here is the commit that fixes this issue https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/e542728
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the estimatefee and estimatesmartfee entry points and compare their fee rounding behavior with the referenced Bitcoin commit e542728. Confirm that the returned fee is not below DEFAULT_MIN_RELAY_TX_FEE, using the reported estimatefee 24 case as the regression scenario.
