On a fresh install/run of bitcoin-qt, the default send speed when the user chooses to open the fee slider is "normal", which is 25 blocks.
This is in contrast to default in bitcoin-cli, which is 2.
This is not intuitive, and I'm not sure an average of 250 minutes to confirmation is considered "normal" to many users of wallets.
I'd prefer -cli and -qt match behavior at a minimum, and perhaps a slightly better name than "normal" to give a hint that it's meant to take some additional time.
Confirmation always takes at least 60 minutes (6 blocks) on average. 250 minutes on top of that isn't typically a noteworthy difference (both 1 and 5 hours are within the same day, and too long to wait around for).
@luke-jr well, "fast" and "normal" being roughly the same is an argument for removing both.
Agree with @instagibbs
I'd prefer -cli and -qt match behavior at a minimum, and perhaps a slightly better name than "normal" to give a hint that it's meant to take some additional time.
