Recently, the fees on Testnet seem to be going wild. I tried to send 20,000 satoshi and it cost me 27,000 satoshi. I used a feerate based on [blockstream.info's fee estimate](https://www.blockstream.info/testnet/api/fee-estimates) and calculated the fee using `tx.virtualSize() * estimatefee`.

What is the correct way to calculate testnet btc fees?
