Gas price wording

Open neuhaus opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

The wording on the live version at the website implies that it shows up-to-date information regarding gas prices.

Right now according to ethgasstation, a std gas price of 3 gwei is fine and 1gwei will also work within 1 minute.

According to myetherwallet.com, when i move the slider to 4 gwei, the transaction will be "really, really slow". Also there is a static(?) notice saying: " The network is really full right now. Check Eth Gas Station for gas price to use."

Both of these statements are outdated yet give the impression of being up-to-date.

My suggestion is to update the wording and/or make the default fee reflect more closely what a good fee is right now. If you don't want to add a dependency on another service to determine a current good gas price, the page should clearly recommend that users do their own research and change the default.
