Well, metamask already gives the user 3 different gas amount options, fast, faster, and fastest, why did you choose to put it manually ?
Have you tried to choose the 'fastest' gas fee ? We can compare the amount of gas fee on metamask with gastracker in etherscan website.
Till now, i have no problem in using metamask wallet to send eth or tokens.
Sometimes the fastest option of metamask is not enough when you are trading on uniswap. So we have to add some extra GWEI so that miners will quickly process our transactions. It's so that we can beat the queue and get into token asap.
From 3 months i am using metamask daily for Uniswap and other Dex transactions. Whenever you send transaction it ask you to choose fast/faster/fastest speed options but actually i need to enter more gwei than pre default options so i put gwei manually. Problem is it ask this thing everytime you send any transaction. This irritate me most, choosing gas fee or limit again n again makes my transaction delay and cause me loss in case price fluctuate in next block. Anyone have the solution for this?
Why Metamask team do not even consider this thing as good feature to roll out in their update? It is life saving for me and many Dex traders.
I think metamask helped me to cancel the previous transaction because of the low gas costs, so I can add gas fees by canceling the previous transaction, you won't be able to do that if you use myetherwallet, so I think that feature is good enough for metamask users and you only need to see ethgastation to see and make arrangements for the gas costs needed
its depend on purpose, my purpose is to process transaction faster than others. in slow mode it takes 4-7 blocks which is much more for any trader.
