...For sending gold tokens the gas I spent was only 1.6 Gwei. My transaction was confirmed in less than 10 seconds.
Can you tell me which wallet you have used or some other insights?
I am also experienced in ETH transactions and wasn't able to send 6,50 GOLD to the Market for less than 120000 Gwei.
I tried 2 times and had to finally send with such a high amount because I got the message "not enough gas" which is true because was fully used.
Seems that you don't know exactly how transaction fee is calculated.
Gwei is the unit of smallest amount of Ethereum. 1 Gwei = 10
-9 Ethereum.
The transaction fee is calculated as follows:
Fee = Gas price * Amount of used gas
That 120000 which you are talking about is not gas price. That's amount of gas (or gas limit)
The gas price can be even 0.1 Gwei
Higher the gas price is, faster your transaction is confirmed.
The gas amount has nothing with transaction speed.
When you send Ethereum, you need to spend 21,000 gas. When you send tokens, higher amount of gas is needed.
Even if you use an amount of gas more than needed, you won't lose anything. The unspent gas will be sent back to your wallet. So I recommend you to use big amounts for gas limit and don't worry about the fee. The extra amount will return to your wallet.
For example, as
etherscan shows, only 101,687 gas out of 120,033 gas has been used and the remaining gas has been sent back to your wallet.
In this transaction, gas price (which determines the transaction speed and fee) is 8 Gwei.
Never worry about gas limit. Because the unspent gas will return to your wallet.
