Miners are not missing their opportunity amidst higher fees as high-priority transactions cost up to 674 satoshis per virtual byte (sat/vB).

Some single transfers were worth more than $50.00. At the moment, there are eight unmined blocks of high-priority transactions. Meanwhile, 311 blocks are waiting to be processed which together makes a backlog of 383607 unconfirmed Bitcoin transactions in the memepool.
