Check all necessary info on fees and network status (block time) before set up fees and move your funds!
Transactions on ERC20 usually are done very fast but sometimes you will need to wait longer to get required confirmations on your ETH or token transfers. On the other hands, transaction fees are always matter for us. We often would like to have fast transactions at as cheap fees as possible. Myetherwallet.com is one of the most used wallets for ETH blockchain. The site recommends transaction fee at 41 Gwei. After login your Myetherwallet, you can see the recommended fee at https://www.myetherwallet.com/interface/send-transactionIt is not always a good fee and sometimes you do need to research and modify fee for your needs. I know a site that can help you doing so. Check: ETHGasStation.info. https://www.myetherwallet.com/convert-unitshttps://etherscan.io/gastrackerAt the welcome page, you will see "Recommended Gas Prices in Gwei" If you're curious on how transactions will be prioritised to confirm based on different Gwei, you can see at the table TxPool VisionBack to the Tx Calculator. By default, the Average fee will be chosen but you can modify it (on available fees or customize it further with Other option, then manually type Gwei you want) You can check fees and the mean time to confirm (Seconds) then make decisions which GWei will be used for your transactions. Moreover, you can check blocktime of Ethereum (in minutes or in seconds) In minutes: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/ethereum-confirmationtime.htmlIn seconds: https://etherscan.io/chart/blocktimeIt is very easy to do but it can do help you to have more comfortable and cheap transactions.
There are some other alternatives to search for safe Gas price (in Gwei). You can do your own research on 21 ETH explorers that are reviewed on this thread: (Compilation) What is the best Ethereum explorer?

Good post and I believe this will help quite a number of users new to ETH. I use those tools also and I consider them common knowledge, but after seeing your post I realized that probably a lot of newbies have no idea about Gas station and similar tools that can save them money and time.
Lots of new crypto users tend to play blockchain games and use metamask to make actions in the game and loose quite a lot of funds by going automatic without any knowledge about gas intricacies.

You acquire not only knowledge but also financial benefits by saving more transaction fees as well as having more healthy life by minimize mentality problems, pressure, annoyance, and other uncomfortable feelings. Lots of new crypto users tend to play blockchain games and use metamask to make actions in the game and loose quite a lot of funds by going automatic without any knowledge about gas intricacies.
I don't know that whether gamers have options to customize their fees when they are playing game. I guess they don't have such like gamblers on casinos. When they are playing games or gamling, no options for them but if they are moving their funds from games or casinos to exchanges/ wallets they can save transactions fees.

Nice collection of useful material to optimize Ethereum transaction fees. I've done a transaction of Ethereum a few days ago and used 10 Gwei (far too low) and my tx is still stuck. Normally I've been using 4 - 8 Gwei and it was confirmed very fast but recently, the network seems to be very busy... Check and select good Gaswei for your needsDo you know if it's really called "Gaswei" (and its abbrevation is "Gwei")?

This for this, I have been using gas calculator for long, in the days when ethereum fees where very low, I just ignore it and use suggested fee. Now this is where I have issues, Imtoken at most times and even trust wallet will fail or pend your transaction, it appears they collect their own charges for providing the wallet and pushes it with small fee, this I believe is Program at auto, someone can correct me if I am wrong but on one occasion, I was charged high on Imtoken but on etherscan a smaller fee was seen.

It's an informative thread most especially to the newbie bounty hunters that commonly they are using Eth for token gas upon selling. Actually it isn't "Gaswei" and that's a wrong term. Gwei is a short term for "gigawei" and "wei" the last part which means the smallest unit of Eth. Just like Bitcoin, there is satoshi for the smallest unit. So, 1 Eth is equal to 1,000,000,000 gwei. Op, here is the Denominations of Ethereum. My source.

Thank you 1miau and sheenshane. It is a typo and I did not notice it. It should be like that "Check and select good Gas price (in Gwei) for your needs". It is what I planned to write down (as initial OP has in paragraph contents) but in OP title, I wrote it down mistakenly. Op, here is the Denominations of Ethereum.
I updated OP with your contribution. Thank you.
I've done a transaction of Ethereum a few days ago and used 10 Gwei (far too low) and my tx is still stuck. Normally I've been using 4 - 8 Gwei and it was confirmed very fast but recently, the network seems to be very busy... Last week, my transaction with 21 Gwei fee tooks almost 30 minutes to be confirmed. You right that the Ethereum network was busy in latest days.

Its not totally random. If you are using a third party app there is an automatic set of gwei that is intended for normal sending of tokens ot even eth. But you can always adjust it to a faster transaction by adding more gwei as per the ethgasstation computation. The default gwei is set to that probably. Thanks for sharing this topic OPvery helpful to those who are conservative on using fees.

Yes you are right, either newbie or professionals, there is no need to go through such farce at all, just import your keys to trust wallet and use the best automatic gwei for instant reflection. Or adjust if it's not urgent. Trust and imtoken wallet does this well

Thanks for sharing this information, really informative for me and probably moreover for other newbies. gas fee always becomes the matter in the crypto world and this always happens to have a certain problem with the amount of the fee and also the speed of the transaction. On the other hand, transaction fees always matter for us. We often would like to have fast transactions at as cheap fees as possible. Yeah, this is also the main problem that we always face. Moreover, the gas fee is also commonly changing due to the high transaction blocks and they may cost higher in certain hours. yeah, there is a busy time and the cost of the gas fee may be higher than it is commonly. Moreover, on some platforms, the gas fee is also higher than in others. In this case, it is very important to check and recheck the gas fee calculation before the transaction to ensure that we don't spend too much fee for the transaction. moreover, if we are not aware of the transaction fee, it may be silly for it. In this case, the information completely about the Gwei or gas fee will be very important. We can also find them on certain sites that provides the gas fee explanation for the latest condition. And of course, the fee also is shown on the platform that we used. A higher fee will make speedier transactions. that is what I always think.

Op, here is the Denominations of Ethereum. My source. Really a big help not only for a newbie for all of us because I know that not all of us knew about Gwei and how this been used wisely to save some in doing a transfer. And I have to accept myself that not even so familiar to this denomination but only I have to set directly to low fees when sending ETH to another wallet. But I have noticed that 4Gwei is the smallest allowable amount to use (correct me if I'm wrong) because usually, I set on that amount almost of my transaction and I don't have any problem.
Confirmation may have some delays due to heavy network traffic but still, it arrives at its destination, but if you want to move it faster then we'll have to make it high.

Presently you don't want mess with ethereum transaction fee (gwei) because of the congestion, fee are pretty high and if you try to adjust manually your coins will be trapped without verify for a long time, even trust wallet warns me now about it

Transferred ETH to my wallet today. The transaction fees surprised me a little. Compared to what was not so long ago, it turned out to be quite high. I have been using the service https://ethgasstation.info/index.php for a long time, it is very convenient and informative.

Didn't knew how congested the network was tonight and made a mistake of sending token without checking Ethgasstation and because of that mistake I had to wait for more than an hour for the network to confirm my transaction.

Everyone makes mistakes, happened to me before too. After that I started to check fees and network like it is my religion before doing any kind of transactions and checking wallet addresses twice just to be sure. Better to be safe then sorry.

I do not recommend to change the default settings on Myetherwallet or Metamask. This is an advanced feature and should be used only by professionals especially when you are sending ERC-20 tokens. Because if you made a mistake and pay low gas, then your transaction will be stuck or won´t be sent and even that you pay fees. So at the end, you can spend more money than by using default settings .

Check fees and network before you move your coins or tokens. Sometimes your wallet show's over high fees and if you don't and believe in them you will waste money for fees.

Gas price is now dipping to 75 Gwei (for average-paced transactions), according to https://ethgasstation.info/calculatorTxV.php. Moreover, according to https://etherscan.io/gastracker, with 75 Gwei as gas price, you can get confirmation in 2 minutes. Will we see days with Gas price is about 21 Gwei in next few weeks? I don't know but now you can enjoy one of good gas price back in later weeks.
