When interacting with contracts, I experienced lately really high gas prices, when using MetaMask.
At times at 100gwei. Turning the price down manually and executing works fine.
I would just be interested in the reason behind this.
When at the meantime “eth_gasPrice” and “hmyv2_gasPrice” return 40gwei.
This problem got worse and I believe I was wrong in the beginning, the endpoints just return those inflated prices.
Reportedly, at times those prices go up to 10000 gwei!
I thought I remember @sophoah mentioning it was calculated based on the average of the last x transactions sent. But that would mean someone is maliciously using high gas to create a bad user experience for everybody using the chain.
Is this problem already tackled?
I notice a lot of bad feedback regarding this issue:
it has also the potential danger of suffering big losses when not paying attention!
