I have a stuck transaction since yesterday, the issue is I accepted the buy offer that had a normal fee for the network at that time, before the next few blocks where found, the network started getting congested, the result ? now the fee is not even close to been adequate and without RBF I cant repost with higher fees… Any plans on supporting it in the future ?

Technically is not possible or very difficult to implement for trading, so it’s not on the horizon.

If there was a mechanism for both parties to split the costs, wouldnt that work? Cause I assume that would be the issue, who pays for it.

It’s a technical reason. Taker already assumes most of the trading costs, so I guess it should be the taker who pays, but only if taker wanted.
