Web: Revert gas price vs confirmation time

[abitrolly]

https://gitcoin.co/gas right now looks like this:

Which doesn't seem too informative to me. How about switching axis?

(as a bonus points)

• make graph scale
• use historical data to measure realistic max gas price on axis

hehehe.. when the ethereum network is doing really really well (operating fast and effectively), then the gitcoin.co/gas graph looks bad..

i'd almost advocate for not showing the graph if conditions are such that you can confirm a tx for < 1 gwei in < 1 minute. just say "the ethereum network is operating at peak performnance" then a subtitle "there is no tradeoff between speed and price right now. please use 1gwei for a cheap, fast, tx"

[abitrolly]

Placing a button to rotate the axis would solve the problem for me. The price can also be < 1gwei, right?

@abitrolly I don't think so, I thought 1 gwei was the atom that couldn't be split for a tx? 🤔

We could use a charting library that renders the scale dynamically based on the values ! Might solve the problem

you can def do 0.1 or 0.2 gwei gas in metamask. not sure about other clients

the data is gathered from here https://ethgasstation.info/predictionTable.php

@owocki -- Any ideas about using this or working on top of it maybe? -- https://eswarasai.github.io/gasprice/

i think that once your work goes into metamask (i think that is the goal, no?) we wont have any need for the gitcoin.co/gas page any longer

[abitrolly]

I can read this graph much easier.

@abitrolly I think that does help make it clearer. Would be great if the chart knew how to scale based on the data available. I do think it's helpful to have values on x and y axis for the points in between.

we can do this! in fact, its what https://github.com/gitcoinco/web/commit/90ca798c19a58b2fb8b47176739c269b99d0b4b9 was meant to do

Graph is strange on Firefox.

@owocki you played around but never commit this, no? :-)
