Access to longer fee estimates using GUI #10590

   0.15 supports fee estimates up to 1008 blocks It would be great if someone could add support for this to the GUI with a redesign of the slider. My recommendation was just to make the slider have discrete values such as: 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48, 144, 504, 1008

   Do we really need more fee choices than that? But perhaps someone with more QT expertise could whip it up faster than me

   Wouldn’t it be more user friendly to select the desired time frame? ~20 minutes, ~40 minutes, … ~3,5 days, ~1 week?

   @lichtamberg: the GUI already shows “time/blocks”

   Brainstorming:

   • Not sure if we want to expose targets of 144, 504, 1008 already in the GUI. Would it make sense to hide them behind an (expert)option?
   • Would a dropdown instead of a slider makes it more clear that it’s non-linear (the dropdown could also include the absolute fee if the transaction details are provided)

   No opinion on dropdown vs slider, but I do like the slider now.

   Why wouldn’t we want to expose the longer horizon targets? Why should those be an expert option? Perhaps we should more clearly display on the slider that those are slow values (change color or include some additional text or something), but I think the whole point is to give users those cheaper options.
