Gwei Price 99 - Auto Gwei? #16

Closed x011 closed 4 years ago

x011 commented 6 years ago

Since the last night update, Gwei is set to 99 by default, this is way to much, specially when the gas price was only 1 Gwei at that time. I've just paid $9.37 for a reveal bid execution - https://www.dropbox.com/s/oc9jr9n7gvzps4y/ss_144.jpg?dl=0 It would be nice to grab the gas price before every transaction. this would create a small delay in execution but we'd always pay the lowest price.

I'm aware that we can use --gas-price or --cheap in order to set a lower gas price, but way too often I forget to set it and, as explained above, it can be costly. Having the gas price set by default to the lowest price would prevent situations like this one.

I think this must have been during the ICO-wars. :)

The provider.getGasPrice() should be more sane now, but please let me know (in the new repository) if you still have problems. :)
