-min-bid 0.02 \

Setting a minimum bid value
Using the -min-bid
flag to set a minimum bid value will incur a small opportunity cost and increase the chance of building local mempool blocks. These are the chances per value of building a local block (based on median payload values during the past two weeks):
min-bid | % chance for building a local block |
---|---|
0.1 ETH | 97.2% |
0.06 ETH | 50% |
0.03 ETH | 13.5% |
0.02 ETH | 2.3% |
0.01 ETH | 0.01% |
