Back to the Tx Calculator. By default, the Average fee will be chosen but you can modify it (on available fees or customize it further with Other option, then manually type Gwei you want)

After almost one year, the Gas price on Ethereum network was pulled back to where it began a crazy rise.

According to GasNow's Gas Price Forecast, you can have a Fast transaction with rate for Gas Price at 20 Gwei, Low at 18 Gwei, Fast at 22 Gwei and Rapid at 26 Gwei.

It is a very good time to move your ETH or ERC-20 tokens if you have them and plan to sell them on exchanges or swap on DeFi platforms.

With 16 Gwei, you can have average transactions on ERC20 chain. It is very good rate and you can say thanks to DeFi tokens. They have gone and their effects on fees have been blown away too.

You can check the fee from another site and on which you can get the chart for Pending transaction against fee https://www.gasnow.org/

11 Gwei to 16 Gwei can be used to save your fees on ERC20 chain.

That's why I see this post though not as a perfect solution but, it surely does nail and gives you an idea on how to choose your gas price and an estimation period for transaction success. It's quite a mind elsing post which would save you time and data if applied.

My experience with ETH GAS. I am trying to exchange one of my tokens. At that time, gas prices would be around 43 Gwei at the latest. My first experiment was using a Web Browser to connect with Metamask. I chose to use Supreme Gas. I was hoping it would be quick but it isn't. Finally, I installed Trustwallet and swapped here. Surprisingly, with the smallest cost, the time difference is not long with the first try, the process is faster. My exchange was successful. I don't know exactly why the case is like this.
My conclusion for a while is that if you want to make transactions (swap, send) it is more effective to use a wallet application. I don't know if Metamask is any different. Second, choose a time when the network is quiet, for example in the morning or when people are resting this will affect costs.

Having a your transaction stuck as pending could be very disturbing, resulting in cancelation and replacing of transactions at different gas prices or your careful observation on the progress with no definite time frame as you remain unsure of when the transaction would be a success as the system works bases on how congested it is with preference to gas price.

That's why I see this post though not as a perfect solution but, it surely does nail and gives you an idea on how to choose your gas price and an estimation period for transaction success. It's quite a mind elsing post which would save you time and data if applied.

Surely the current situation and fees we have to pay to move ERC20 tokens suck but this ultimately won't last forever once we switch to ETH 2.0 especially for a beginning.

To be honest I even stopped using the Ethereum network a couple of months ago until things get back to normal.

The crazy period on ETH network this year is far away, fee is on the way down to 37 Gwei today ETH Gas Station's Tx Calculator. It is more than 2-fold higher than the fee in early of this year but it is good after 2 months.

I think you can return to use ETH next one to four weeks when DeFi projects won't have big demands from community.

Last time I tried to move my tokenin frokdelta last week, the gas price hit 15 $ im use metamask. It was busy when it came to swaps in the defi protocol. That's a very expensive price. Lucky, My Eth balance is only a litle and I chose the lowest price and I just checked the success after a few days pending. Will this last forever? It would be sad if it continued.

Will we see days with Gas price is about 21 Gwei in next few weeks? I don't know but now you can enjoy one of good gas price back in later weeks.

Depends on the network load really, past few days are somewhat decent usually it was 100+ gwei plus don't go with wallets recommended gas price, it will be faster but will burn a whole in your pocket. Even if I go with lowest I get trxn confirmed within an half hour, unless it's really urgent I don't mind it.

Gas price is now dipping to 75 Gwei (for average-paced transactions), according to https://ethgasstation.info/calculatorTxV.php.

Moreover, according to https://etherscan.io/gastracker, with 75 Gwei as gas price, you can get confirmation in 2 minutes.

Check fees and network before you move your coins or tokens. Sometimes your wallet show's over high fees and if you don't and believe in them you will waste money for fees.

I do not recommend to change the default settings on Myetherwallet or Metamask. This is an advanced feature and should be used only by professionals especially when you are sending ERC-20 tokens. Because if you made a mistake and pay low gas, then your transaction will be stuck or won´t be sent and even that you pay fees. So at the end, you can spend more money than by using default settings

Didn't knew how congested the network was tonight and made a mistake of sending token without checking Ethgasstation and because of that mistake I had to wait for more than an hour for the network to confirm my transaction.

Everyone makes mistakes, happened to me before too. After that I started to check fees and network like it is my religion before doing any kind of transactions and checking wallet addresses twice just to be sure.

Better to be safe then sorry.

Transferred ETH to my wallet today. The transaction fees surprised me a little. Compared to what was not so long ago, it turned out to be quite high. I have been using the service https://ethgasstation.info/index.php for a long time, it is very convenient and informative.

today ethereum seems to be overloaded because many transactions are delayed and even I make a deposit I have to wait about 40 minutes, if I keep using https://ethgasstation.info/index.php it will have very expensive fees

Presently you don't want mess with ethereum transaction fee (gwei) because of the congestion, fee are pretty high and if you try to adjust manually your coins will be trapped without verify for a long time, even trust wallet warns me now about it

It's an informative thread most especially to the newbie bounty hunters that commonly they are using Eth for token gas upon selling.

Gwei is a short term for "gigawei" and "wei" the last part which means the smallest unit of Eth. Just like Bitcoin, there is satoshi for the smallest unit.

So, 1 Eth is equal to 1,000,000,000 gwei.

Op, here is the Denominations of Ethereum.

My source.

Really a big help not only for a newbie for all of us because I know that not all of us knew about Gwei and how this been used wisely to save some in doing a transfer. And I have to accept myself that not even so familiar to this denomination but only I have to set directly to low fees when sending ETH to another wallet. But I have noticed that 4Gwei is the smallest allowable amount to use (correct me if I'm wrong) because usually, I set on that amount almost of my transaction and I don't have any problem.

Confirmation may have some delays due to heavy network traffic but still, it arrives at its destination, but if you want to move it faster then we'll have to make it high.

Thanks for sharing this information, really informative for me and probably moreover for other newbies. gas fee always becomes the matter in the crypto world and this always happens to have a certain problem with the amount of the fee and also the speed of the transaction.

Quote from: OcTradism on July 11, 2020, 02:11:09 AM

On the other hand, transaction fees always matter for us. We often would like to have fast transactions at as cheap fees as possible.

Yeah, this is also the main problem that we always face. Moreover, the gas fee is also commonly changing due to the high transaction blocks and they may cost higher in certain hours. yeah, there is a busy time and the cost of the gas fee may be higher than it is commonly. Moreover, on some platforms, the gas fee is also higher than in others. In this case, it is very important to check and recheck the gas fee calculation before the transaction to ensure that we don't spend too much fee for the transaction. moreover, if we are not aware of the transaction fee, it may be silly for it.

In this case, the information completely about the Gwei or gas fee will be very important. We can also find them on certain sites that provides the gas fee explanation for the latest condition. And of course, the fee also is shown on the platform that we used. A higher fee will make speedier transactions. that is what I always think.

yes, sometimes people just click send and don't forget to select the gwei
so, random gwei will automatically selected
nice post buddy

Yes you are right, either newbie or professionals, there is no need to go through such farce at all, just import your keys to trust wallet and use the best automatic gwei for instant reflection. Or adjust if it's not urgent. Trust and imtoken wallet does this well

Its not totally random. If you are using a third party app there is an automatic set of gwei that is intended for normal sending of tokens ot even eth. But you can always adjust it to a faster transaction by adding more gwei as per the ethgasstation computation. The default gwei is set to that probably.

Thanks for sharing this topic OPvery helpful to those who are conservative on using fees.
