Bitcoin JSON-RPC API - estimatesmartfee

General

Hi,

For the estimatesmartfee endpoint in the Bitcoin JSON-RPC API, what are the accepted values for the “estimate_mode” parameter? I can’t find any info on this in the api docs. All it says is:
By default, it is CONSERVATIVE

Also, what does this parameter do?

Thanks,
Eric

There are three modes; “UNSET”, “ECONOMICAL” and “CONSERVATIVE”
You are correct that the default is “CONSERVATIVE”
