Common Issues With The Ethereum Wallet
As an optimist when it comes to Ethereum I tend to see the issues with the platform and try to solve them. Of course, not everyone is as keen on sticking there nose in the technical part of things. They just want the damn thing to work, which is the majority of society. However, if Ethereum is going to be the web 3.0 these issues has to be handled first.
Transaction Didn't Confirm
An issue which is very trouble and happens a lot. A lot is of course relative, but if Ethereum is going mainstream this problem is going to have to disappear. However, it's difficult to change this thing but these are the most common causes:
- The transaction fee is to low to get prioritised by minders. They have the option to ignore transaction with a too low fee. If you than are low prioritised, it takes a long time before the transaction is added in the blockchain.
- The wallet is not fully synchronized with you network. Therefore, the transaction can't be confirmed.
Issues which not everyone wants to deal with. They are better of making transactions with the help of their bank.
Ethers Doesn't Show Up In Wallet
Send ether to a contract wallet takes a lot of gas. The consumption is more than at least 21 000 gas for a normal transfer, due to the contracts firing logs while receiving the transaction. If you don't want to loose your ethers, make sure to send at least 50 000 gas. The transaction will otherwise be reverted and the ether stay at its origin address.
Conclusion
Issues we all can agree on is somewhat irritating, even more so if your time is very limited. It is not a matter of if, it is a matter of when Ethereum will be the mainstream use when making transactions. However, when this will happen I believe is when these issues is mostly resolved, or can if needed be fixed by someone with no deeper knowledge of the actual problem. My mother and father for example.
