Error in setup when fee estimation is not ready

[GreenmanPGI]

The setup ended since the fee estimation was not ready.

Error! Hit unexpected exception msg: 'Fee estimation faild. Fallbackfee is disabled. Wait a few blocks or enable -fallbackfee' code:-4

Thanks for the report.

Were you performing a new wallet setup when this occurred? What was the step that you were on when you hit this error message?

As a temporary workaround, you can restart bitcoind with the -fallbackfee option:

-fallbackfee=<amt>

    A fee rate (in BTC/kvB) that will be used when fee estimation has insufficient data. 0 to entirely disable the fallbackfee feature. (default: 0.00)

Yes, I was doing a new wallet setup.

“It is curious in how great a degree human progress depends on the individual. Humans, numbered in thousands of millions, seem organized into an ant-like society. Yet this is not so. New ideas, the impetus of all development, come from individual people, not from corporations or states. New ideas, fragile as spring flowers, easily bruised by the tread of the multitude, may yet may be cherished by the solitary wanderer.”
