estimatesmartfee nblocks

WARNING: This interface is unstable and may disappear or change!

Estimates the approximate fee per kilobyte needed for a transaction to begin
confirmation within nblocks blocks if possible and return the number of blocks
for which the estimate is valid.

Arguments:
1. nblocks (numeric)

Result:
{
"feerate" : x.x, (numeric) estimate fee-per-kilobyte (in BTC)
"blocks" : n (numeric) block number where estimate was found
}

A negative value is returned if not enough transactions and blocks
have been observed to make an estimate for any number of blocks.
However it will not return a value below the mempool reject fee.

Example:
> bitcoin-cli estimatesmartfee 6
