Web: Problem on claimming a issue

[ernaneluis]

I'm trying to claim a issue and Metamask is not broadcasting the transaction.
Besides the transaction to claim is costing almost $2, quite high I think thought.

thanks @ernaneluis -- ethereum network is bogged down today (we all think its due to cryptokitties but idk)...

nonetheless, this issue shouldnt be happening. let me see if i can repro it while gas prices are still high

[owocki]

btw wwhich issue are you trying to claim

[ernaneluis]

@owocki the one from leaderbord

[owocki]

out of curiousity, does it work if you try 11 gwei as the gas price?

[ernaneluis]

metamask problem is still happening
https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/2661

Several issues were created. The cryptoKitties are clogging their nodes.

[owocki]

looks like your claim went through! will accept it once we merge the PR

[ernaneluis]

I tried using another RPC node. The infura is till a problem. The gas is now 61 gwei 👎

[owocki]

hmnm.. i hope this cryptokitties thing isnt going to clog up the network for the next ~hours~ ~days~ weeks.

we may need to think up another strategy for reducing gas costs.

@ernaneluis fwiw it seems network conditions have calmed down a bit.
