I submitted a transaction via Flashbots Protect RPC 50 mins ago and the transaction just never got published lol What happens now? Can I assume it's not happening at this point? Should I send a replacement tx with the same nonce to be sure? Being in the dark with a signed transaction out there doesn't feel great

Are you using fast mode?

whoa just had 2 txns fail with the normal RPC then fast mode was instant how is the flashbots builder so much faster?

Nice! Glad it improved. The way fast mode works is that it sends your transaction to other (non flashbots) block builders. Since the flashbots builder only builds a fraction of blocks, sending to other builders increases your likelihood of landing onchain.

take note that fast one lets your failing txs land onchain and waste your eth normal one never includes failing txs

hmm appreciate the heads up but seems like a worthwhile tradeoff given my little experience weird because I've used normal mode without issues in the past, but had 2 txns pass the 25 block limit today so just never got processed

Ah, @defijesus that was the behavior for the old version of fast mode (pre-merge). The new version also has revert protection! More on the diff here: https://collective.flashbots.net/t/notice-to-protect-users-planned-changes-to-rpc-flashbots-net-fast/2494
