Its like every 10 secs the fees are so volatile according to:

https://ethgasstation.info/index.php?curr=gbp

I sent coins to exchange at 'standard less than 5 mins' fee at 105 Gwei which was recommended at the time on the site above. After like 20 secs later I refreshed that site and now the same fee has gone up to 132 gwei  Shocked

Now I see on the Etherscan global transaction explorer that it will take 11hrs still Pending status for confirmation wth  Angry

When I choose gwei when sending, ok after that I take a few mins to double check deposit address to make sure you know what I mean before I click on the final submit send coins button. During those few mins the gwei fee can change right meaning the recommended fee shown at the site above can now be outdated and too slow now correct if gwei fees gone up during that time meaning instead of 5mins I gotta wait 11hrs now?


Unfortunately at the moment gas cannot be controlled and we can not do anything about it but the good news is that eth developers will launch solutions by april which will be tested for couple of months and activated in july nd this upgrade will significantly reduce and regulate gas prices.
