Allow users to override the provided gas price and gas limit about frame HOT 9 CLOSED

I've been having a lot of issues where, due to fluctuations in the gas market, transactions have non-trivial differences in cost depending on the time I'm performing the transaction. It would be really really useful to see an estimate have the ability to modulate the gas price.

Hey Brett,

Sorry for the inconvenience! The delay on this feature is my fault. When it didn't make the cut on our last major release I decided to push it into our next major release, so it's on that timeline. Our major release is nearing completion and we should have it out in the next few weeks but I will also take a look at how difficult it would be to cherry pick and release in a new 0.2 version in the short-term.

I'll definitely make it a priority to get this out soon.

Gas price suggested by Frame sometimes is unreasonably high. I managed to work around this problem by copying transaction data from ~/.config/frame/config.json and sending it from another wallet :)

I cannot emphasize my need for this feature enough; almost every transaction I try to send through Frame I need to re-do using mycrypto because of the non-adjustable gas price. This costs me hours D:

Yeah we could add that although as commented above, some users are also sensitive to the currently filled gas price being "unreasonably high". This is our current minimum gas price enforcement https://github.com/floating/frame/blob/master/main/provider/index.js#L243-L244, it's a 20% boost over what is returned from eth_gasPrice. If you run Frame from source you can edit this to enforce your own minimum.

And we'll have a really nice full solution for everyone soon! :)

Gas controls have landed in v0.3.2 out now!

from frame.

Thanks! For now it may even make sense to just have a bit of a gas floor (e.g. 3-5gwei), as the gas market can fluctuate a lot right now between 1-3gwei. Sending a 1.9gwei transaction usually means transactions take forever to mine if the market bumps even slightly to 2gwei.

Gas controls are in v0.3.2 and I wanted to get some feedback before wider release. You can find v0.3.2 here: https://github.com/floating/frame/releases/tag/v0.3.2 -- this is a prerelease version of Frame still undergoing testing/QA to be released very soon

All feedback is very much appreciated
