"""Return current suggested fee rate (in sat/kvByte), according to config

I'm guessing this should be a kByte or Kibibyte?

It's 4000 weight = 1000 virtual byte
"kilo virtual byte"

Note that this (vbyte; kvByte) is the unit used by Electrum all over the UI. We just chose not to confuse the user, by not mentioning explicitly it's "virtual".
