Description

Appreciate the position in mempool feature, but it is really confusing even for experienced bitcoin users

  • When I first saw 1.47MB.. it seemed to me like it is showing the size of the transaction. Then it didn't seem right, so I had to click on show details to figure it out. The KB , MB suffix is used for size (most people will think its showing size)
  • What is the utility of seeing this figure ? Something like Est 20min to confirm would be much better. You can show this in details, however showing it in dashboard, I am not sure how much it is really helping users

Research direction

Start at the dashboard's position-in-mempool display and compare it with the information shown under “show details.” Decide how the value should be presented and what dashboard information users need; done means the display is no longer confused with transaction size and the intended confirmation guidance is clear.
