You can see from ethgasstation.info that there are some transactions with gas prices under a gwei that do eventually get confirmed. You can also see that miningpoolhub mines transactions with a gas price as low as 0.5 gwei. Thus, if you include a transaction that has a gas price of 0.5 gwei, you can still have your transaction included in the blockchain. That's ~2% of the "standard" price. | |
