I successfully sent some cryptocurrency the other day. Then when I looked over my transaction, it had a gas amount or charge. What is this gas amount? I never heard of it and I don't even know what it is. Now is there anyway to avoid it or at the very least minimize it's amount? Please can someone give me some advice and steer me in the right direction!
It becomes your responsibility to pay gas amount if you are using ethereum network or something that related to the smartcontract system. it's the same if you are paying or sending anything with bitcoin and you must pay the transaction fees. but in gas has different system with bitcoin. Because you need to input gas price and amount the contract will try to execute based on your input.
