Description
We've been pulling our hairs about transactions not showing up in your blockexplorers, electrum server, and wallets.
Distance from tip is always way way off.

5sat/bytes is at 41mb not 15mb from tip.

Research direction
The issue concerns mempool data shown by block explorers, an Electrum server, and wallets, with screenshots of transactions at the wrong distance from the tip. Start by reproducing the discrepancy and tracing how mempool distance is calculated and exposed to those consumers. Done means transactions appear and report the correct distance from the chain tip.
