Is it a nice service, or does it hinder accurate fee estimation for peer-peer users when a significant portion of fees are paid out-of-band? Is this peer-peer usage of the network? What affect does it have on miner decentralization?
Hm, ok I've never heard of this method, but intriguing.
How so?
Fees accelerators were around for many years not just now.
- https://www.viabtc.com/tools/txaccelerator/ - pay onchain and with shitcoins and expensive
- https://bitaccelerate.com/ - pay only with tether I think
- https://mempool.space/accelerator - pay over LN to push your stuck tx
Never needed it I guess.
Yes, is better to avoid these "bump fees" methods. If you are not familiar you could do mistakes (like the guy in the twatter post or even worse, fucked up a closing channel.
As I explained in this advanced use case scenario using Zeus in a closing channel. I did it on purpose just to be able to document the guide for others. I hope people will read it and avoid doing this kind of mistake.

I think we should mention also the 3rd option: pay the fee separately to the miner willing to include that low fee tx into a block, untouched.
https://mempool.space/ have a nice service for this. You need to create an account first and then on the same tx you can click on "accelerate" and pay the fee over LN directly to the miner.
