Title: Ethereum Gas fees too high !
Post by: admin on July 20, 2020, 08:17:04 PM
This post is just to complain, i remember in the past - a year ago - a 10 Gwei Gas price would have your transaction confirmed in few minutes. Now it takes days... Average Gas is now 30-40 Gwei.

We recently paid 5$ on a contract with 10 Gwei Gas price, it has taken almost a week and the transaction still not confirmed, meaning can be rejected !

At least in bitcoin it's all transactions, and it does not pretend to be a chain for deploying or interacting with contracts!

Yes admin sir, Ethereum gas fees 5 times than before. Today minimum gas fees amount over $0.50.  If I transfer a minimum amount of assets, minimum gas fees 50 cent huge more. Last transaction I already paid 94 cent which is very much. Please Ethereum authority shout take actions. Please reduce Ethereum gas.

Hard work on DeFi platforms has led to an increase in the number of transactions, resulting in gas or transaction confirmation costs also increasing because of the limited network speed. Hope next month's TestNet of ETH 2.0 will solve this problem, hope Shardings will have the same positive impact as Lightning :)

Exactly! I remember, back in the days when I made a transaction that the payments is higher than the amount I sent.   ;D A kind of legal scam. Those were my newbie days.

It looks like we are gearing up for a real altseason. The gas fee is almost intolerable . Had to spend 60-70 gwei to push transactions through.

That may be fine for big investors.But I think it has become a kind of oppression for the Hunters.I mean the Hunters.It should be done according to the fee amount.

I feel the same way, for unknown reasons the etherum gas fee is ridiculously high when compared with especially bitcoin; is there any logical reasons or explanation as to why it is so expensive to send out etherum or altcoins on the etherum smart contract ?

I also have a complaint about this gas price. I also made 3 big transactions on July 18th. I have seen that the gas price is much higher. But I reduced the gas. It took 2 more days for that transaction to happen. So I have complaints. I was insulted by the transaction. It would be better to reduce the gas. I think gas should be less.

It's basically down to two things:
1. The number of transactions flooding the network
2. The fee senders are willing to pay for faster confirmation

If there are more people willing to pay higher gwei than you, then expect miners to prioritize those transactions.

This has indeed become a complaint by many people, the increase in Gas prices is indeed very high. But what can we do, while we still need it. 
My personal hope is that the price of this gas can go back down sept first!  But is that possible?

Post by: Riya143 on July 31, 2020, 10:29:51 AM
Yes, I have noticed that ETH gas fee has increased. I don't want this gas fee. The previous gas fee was good. A common thing is that if someone does 1$ transaction then 0.90$ gas fee will be charged. Would that be good? I think the gas fee should be based on the amount. But I don't know what the ETH #DevelopmentTeam  thinks. If someone does transaction 100$ transaction, his gas fee will be higher. On the other hand, if someone makes a $5 transaction. Then there should be a difference between these two transactions.

I think everything will be restored soon. And the gas price will be small.

I think The reason why the increase on gas fee on token transactions shows that the crypto currency market is actually growing and possibly because people are making profits thats why they need to increase the transaction fees I believe there's no fix amount on the fee meaning that it may still increase in the future.

Day by Day Ethereum gas fee increasing. This gas fee absolutely burden those who are not big investor. It's not the positive sign for Ethereum. I suggest  to Ethereum authority to take action and reduce Ethereum gas.
Title: Re: Ethereum Gas fees too high !

The average gas has exceeded 100 gwei in a period. it is currently around 50 gwei.

average transfer prices also appear to be in a downward trend. Transfer fees exceeding $ 1.88 are currently retreating to $ 1.68.

defi platforms create density on the network. it will slowly return to normal.

Now i just transfer the 2.49$ USDT from ERC20 to my account and i just pay the fee of 1.91$ for that. Fee is so much high and in future its fee is going to be high more becasue market is going to up day by day.

  Not only has Ethereum's gas fee increased, but Bitcoin's gas fee has also increased several times. The rate of this gas fee is higher depending on the exchange. I think like you, the gas fee should be lower than before and it should be based on quantity. Hopefully the concerned authorities will consider the matter after hearing our frustration.

As an ETH enthusiast, I'm disappointed to see this. But as some one has pointed out, ETH gas fee is following BTC gas fee's footstep. It's a common issue when a coin becomes mainstream, I think. Hopefully this issue will be fixed in the ETH 2.0 or at least it will be lessened.
Title: Re: Ethereum Gas fees too high !
Post by: syedrasool2011 on August 03, 2020, 01:14:34 PM
The ETH gas fees are ridiculous! If they really want mass adoption, that needs to be fix asap. 2.0 could be a solution but its taking them quite some time.

This is not good news for cryptocurrency users. Now i know this information. Because i do not transaction in 3 months on ether wallet. So thanks.

This is indeed a ridiculous transaction fee, i believe Ethereum 2.0 is suppose to fix this issue but if Vitalik doesn't solve this gas fee problem, alot of users will abandon Ethereum as nobody want to pay $2 for a $10 transaction

I don't think ethereum is the only one that makes the gas high, I think almost all altcoins and bitcoins also happen the same. because it just so happens that the current price of ethereum is quite high so that the impact is seen if it is valued at $ it will feel high.

what is needed is not how high the gas is required to pay, but how long the tokens we have done the transaction can quickly finish we receive. Instead of waiting for a long time and being afraid of being dependent for a long time, it is only natural if we can give more for a perfect achievement.
Title: Re: Ethereum Gas fees too high !
Post by: Rakin343 on August 08, 2020, 05:16:50 AM
In fact, it is a sad thing for us. Because we earn small money. We have to pay so many transaction fees by earning small money which is a very sad thing for us. The token would go to the automatic wallet if you paid 15-20 gas fee earlier. If 0.10-0.20 cents were given there, tokens would be transacted in different wallets. And now you have to transfer coins with 70-150 gas fee where the gas fee is deducted 0.50-1.5. I do not like this topic. Can you comment on how you feel?
Title: Re: Ethereum Gas fees too high !
Post by: UNIVERSE on August 08, 2020, 06:45:38 AM
AFAIK, high fee Gas doesn't happen at anytime. It may happen because the traffic is busy and we must use more Gas to send ETH. But I think it is no problem if the transaction can be faster. 
Title: Re: Ethereum Gas fees too high !
Post by: sky20 on August 08, 2020, 03:26:13 PM
I also have a alligation about the gas fees. It really so high if compare with contemporary coin then you will arise that same question. I think the authority attempt to solve it as early as possible.

But transaction aren't faster either. Imagine spending $3 for sending 10 USDT on Ethereum network, that's bullshit.

To be honest, i wish there could be an explanation as to why the Etherum gas fees are so high and ridiculous. It is even more than what bitcoin charges for transactions. None the less, i think there is no choice, than to comply and take profits
Title: Re: Ethereum Gas fees too high !
Post by: masudginanjar on August 13, 2020, 11:25:55 PM
Indeed, we can also complain about this problem because with expensive shipping costs, I also make sure this will be an obstacle for all cryptocurrency lovers.

Example: I have token A which costs around 10 USD, if I want to send token A at a cost of 5 USD then I will only get 5 USD.
5 USD is not to mention the bank admin fee for sending money to our account and this is quite heavy for those of us who have a cheap token price.

When the coin price is high the gas fee is also high becasue it depend on the market and also the increasing of coin value gas fee is increasing day by day.

Yesterday, I gave around $5 gas fee just for $20 token transfer. That's kind of ridiculous and I don't know how long i can handle it.
Uniswap is the realm culprit in this case, wish to get everything as normal as before.

This is very detrimental, sending only a little but expensive. is there no real solution from ETH at the moment?

This is not advisable, if you are going to trade and do transaction make sure that your trades are high volume or quantities. Its not advisable to do it with small amount with a huge fee its only you will suffered from the consequence of paying huge.

Do what you think the right one. You can do nothing while Ethereum gas fee is high or do transaction now even it is high. It is much better to pay $5 for $20 than pay $0 for shitcoins.

Right now, there are a lot of bounty hunters to traders who complain about the current high gas fees, I hope there will be a reduction in gas fees in the near future or there are other alternatives besides using ETH.

The DeFi project brought lots of changes, high gas prices, increased investor confidence in cryptocurrencies keeping the ethereum network busy with a solid number of transaction order confirmations.
I think Bitcoin will still be my current choice for transactions in a large amount and it doesn't take days like it did on the ethereum blockchain.

the possibility to use anything other than ethereum will be difficult to materialize because ethereum is already the basis for exchanging almost all new altcoins, the possibility is that bitcoin can of course be even more expensive. but we believe there has been a change, even though it is not very satisfying, but ethereum will improve even though it takes time we ourselves do not know why this sudden change occurred.

It is known that the number of people using DeFi applications alone has recently exceeded 120,000.I think even if ETH 2.0 comes, it will not be able to handle the DeFi load of 120,000 users.
The Ethereum network was actually pretty dense without decentralized finance apps, and now everything's messed up with the added DeFi overhead.

With so many tokens currently available, it is impossible that all of them will get support from the general public. Therefore, many tokens / coins will die or disappear from the market. Therefore we must pay attention to the tokens we have, don't let us lose our money because we miss information or update prices from our asset list.

Post by: debra on September 26, 2020, 10:56:02 PM
Yeah, some days ago the gas fees are still so high that make all of the erc20 token holders mad of this condition. However today, it is decreasing. Now here are the gas fee per writing this:
- Low = 48 gwei -> $0.36 | ~ 18 mins:37 secs
- Average = 100 gwei -> $0.74 | ~ 2 mins:13 secs
- High = 110 gwei -> $0.82 | ~ 30 secs

But the fee gas will be exactly changing again and again. The best way is by checking the gas fee on the gas tracker before sending in order to consider whether it is higher or not.

Now the price of transactions has already dropped and this is very good, but unfortunately, the Ethereum blockchain has a very huge drawback - its huge fees and in order to solve this problem, we need to wait for the release of Ethereum 2.0 and hope that Ethereum 2.0 will solve this problem.

Yes, at present the etherium gas fee has been increased so much that to transfer any token or coin from one place one has to pay a lot of dollar transaction free.  As seen earlier, he has to pay 0.4-0.5 transaction fee to transfer the token.  And now he has to pay a transaction fee of 10 to 12 dollars to transact the same amount of tokens.  This is moving people away from the Ethereum platform.

I think it has been difficult for both the investor and the bounty hunter as the fee for etherium gas has increased several times unexpectedly lately. Hopefully this problem will be fixed in ETH 2.0 or at least it will be reduced and at the same time the amount of fee should be commensurate with the amount of currency.

Yes, at present Ethereum's transaction gas fee has been increased so much that you have to pay a lot of dollars to transfer coins from one place to another.  This is confusing ordinary people like us. If Ethereum transaction free is not reduced then many people will move away from Etherium platform.  And the Etherium platform could be destroyed.

Last year, i have used 5-10 Gwei for transaction which was very fast but recent past Gwei touched 480+ which is the highest ever. This transaction fee reached nearly $10 which is very frustrating for the Ethereum network transaction and now slightly down but still fee is more than $1. Hence Bitcoin transaction fees is too low still now. For this reason many new projects are coming to develop with TRC20 or TRON network. I hope this fees will decrease soon.

For this reason many new projects are coming to develop with TRC20 or TRON network.
This is proof that something that goes against the wishes of many people will definitely affect like this.
This will also give Ethereum a very hard run because if there is no option to lower the transaction Ethereum will slowly be abandoned.

The proof can be seen from your statement and the coins that use TRC20 (TRON) for transaction fees are very cheap, some are even free.
