Thanks for that handy bit of information. I didn't realize this was happening, have actually stopped following all the updates as it's quite impossible to follow everything now.
I don't really see how this can reduce fee problem though? Tipping is still going to happen, right?
It's my pleasure to spread the updates and happy to be the hardest hodler of Ethereum.
Tipping will be available, Here is some short list of the upcoming upgrades on EIP 1559:
(1) current block limit is 12.5 M and after the hardfork, block size will be 25M which means double of the current block size
(2) There will be two type of fees - one is Base Fee which will be same for everyone and those fees will be burned forever and miner won't get that. Second is Miner Tip which will be paid miners by those people who want to tip and make faster transections.
(3) Base/standard fee will be same for everyone and it'll fluctuate according to the "Miner Tip". For example, current base fee is $1 and current block completes a transection with using the 40% capasity of the current block size which is less than 50% of total block size, than base fee on the next block will be decreased into 12.5% and will be $0.875. On the other hand, it'll increase the base fee 12.5% on the next block if current block is finished any transection with more than 50% capacity size of the total block size. BTW, capasity will be depend on those who want to pay "Miner tip" as there won't be more than 50% capasity if there aren't any users who want to pay that "Miner Tip".
I hope , it'll clear the confussion about EIP 1559. Again happy to share with you as none ask for it.
