somehow the ethereum network has been very slow lately, and I've set the gwei and gas to be bigger, but the transaction still fails. what is happening to the ethereum right now?
I'm not sure, but I increased the gas limit and sent to coinbase and it worked(instantly), def not enough gas the first time.
This can be a remedy to those transactions that are taking too long before the ETH network confirming it. If you find trouble and it was a very long time of wait then just increase the gas.
The same thing is happening to the network with bitcoin, there's a congestion and it means there are too many users who are transacting from time to time and it can't handle quickly just like before.
But I don't know why you guys are experiencing this, when I sent ETH to an exchange yesterday no problem found and everything went smoothly.
