With more transactions on Ignis, I am noticing transactions I make with the `bundleTransactions` API call have to sometimes wait in a queue to hopefully make it into an Ardor block before expiring. What is the easiest way to increase the fee to typically pay more then normal bundlers?  
The API call is always just trying to bundle one 0fee message transaction on IGNIS. It seems I could just increase feeNQT to something like `2000000` instead of what seems to be the default of `1000000`. Would it be better to use `feeRateNQTPerFXT` somehow? I have never used that parameter in an API call.

Talking with tre on slack it would seem the best solution is to try and get these transactions bundled in a regular bundler, but for right now I'm just looking for the easiest/quickest solution to better the user experience now.

Thanks!

You are in the right path: you just need to increase `feeNQT`.

The easiest way will probably be this:

1. Send the `bundleTransactions` with `broadcast=false`, notice the `minimumFeeFQT` field.

2. Apply your overpay by increasing a fixed amount or multiplying by a factor.

3. Send the `bundleTransactions` with the computed `feeFQT`.

Keep in mind you will need to win other child chain blocks in an absolute comparison, not relative. If the competing child chain block bundles, let's say, 42 transactions, even at minimum fee, it will take a lot of overpay for you to send a single bundled transaction worth more than the other 42 child transactions.
