Nice to know that Ethereum is back to its abnormal state of normal. Just tried to buy $35 LINK as half of a liquidity pair. Gas Fee = $144.00
Are they nuts?????
I promptly cancelled the transaction.

Lol. ETH must be getting fairly crazy again. This is why I avoid it.

I haven't done anything new with ETH because its too damn expensive. Now I'm just playing around with the stuff I accumulated when I first started years ago.

I can't imagine someone approving the transaction without looking at the Gas fees. 😯

I'll bet you dollars to donuts it happens all the time. Hell, I even check the Metamask BSC gas fees...once and a while they they to charge ETH gas fees for BSC transactions. Happens to me a couple times a week. Thank the Lord I check....

Thanks for letting me know. I would check a thousand times now. :D

I had one time where it changed my transaction fee to 5 BNB. I didnt have nearly that much in there so the transaction was blocked. But since then, I check each time.

Yeah, I've heard complaints about that but that one never happened to me. I'm presently going back and forth with Metamask Support over six small deposits of bFARM rewards that went missing. Last contact from them a few minutes ago shuffled the problem off to Binance.
It's less than $5 so I think rather than increasing my already high blood pressure due to the aggravation, I'll just give up and take the loss.

I havent had a problem with Metamask as of yet. However, we do need to be careful. This is one of the things that scares people away in my opinion. The last of ease of use is a challenge and then couple it with mistakes/screwups, and people lose money.

I have zero ETH on my MetaMask so would they still charge you ETH?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes, well they try to. It comes up and tells you you have an insufficient amount (which I did until I moved my ETH assets there) and tells you how much you need to complete the transaction. If you have none no worries. The display looks different so if you get it you'll know. If you get it just reject it until you get the right display with the right gas fees.

That is good to know. But even if they charge me, its not like they will get any ETH since I don't like gas fees.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is what happened with the BSC when it tried to charge me 5 on a transaction.
That is a reason not to keep anything more in those native currencies over than your gas fee.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That is how people pay $140K for a transaction and things like that which you see occasionally. Not paying attention.
It is vital to look at each transaction, even on CubFinance and harvesting. Do not simply hit the button three times without looking.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah. I did not know this earlier. Although I do not have too many funds in my Metamask but still. Don't want to pay a stupid amount for minor transactions.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I just mentioned how it is best to just keep enough gas to transaction as you need to. Having large sums in there do not make sense, at least not of the native token.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, that makes sense. We can always transfer more when the GAS pot goes empty.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, I only have some BNB for fees... nothing else
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
People do the dumbest things so I am not surprised. I always check it though because I don't want to be cheated out of money.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well, I myself do it sometimes. 😂😂😂 Who am I to pin point fingers on others.
But now I will make sure to check it every timeeee.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is crazy. Apart from owning some ETH, I don't do anything with it.
I think it's the right decision.
Smart move.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Just let it keep running up in price. That is the only way to be able to afford the fees. LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yea, Ethereum can be crazy like that sometimes. I gave up minting a NFT on that chain because of those crazy fees.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I cancel more transactions than I make!!! And I really don't try too often. Only have a couple hundred in ETH assets, but it burns my ass I'm cost prohibited putting those asset to work for me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The fees have to be killing the NFT market for it. I cannot imagine anyone building anything to do with NFTs on that chain. It all has to be locked up.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I saw Gods Unchained and how a $1 NFT would be $51 due to fees and gave up on NFTs there.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I would say smart move but some things in life are just no brainers.

That it was without a second thought.
