| Sep 18, 2017 at 14:31 | comment | added | rkagerer | Thanks that answers my question. Ethgasstation.info was down at the time so I just looked at gas prices of recent transactions on Etherscan.io and added a nice fat margin. | |
| Sep 14, 2017 at 7:41 | comment | added | Ismael♦ | Gas price is a dynamic value, sometime during a popular ICO the cost goes up. You can use ethgasstation.info to determine the convenient price at given moment, ie how much time can you wait for a transaction to be mined vs the price you want to pay. A good wallet can calculate the total of a transaction, but otherwise if you have enough funds there's nothing that can save you if you put too many zeros in the gas price. | |
| Sep 14, 2017 at 4:02 | comment | added | rkagerer | Thanks; this is very helpful! So my values were reasonable? i.e. My gasPrice was 80 gwei and I was sending 0.02 eth? What happens if you screw up and use a ballistic gas price either within or outside the means of your account balance? Does anything protect you from a typo with extra zeroes recklessly burning through all your account funds? | |
