RE: Community News - buying EOS and claiming

in #eos7 years ago (edited)

Hi! One of my viewers had the same exact problem as you. What this is, is a pricing problem where your wallet is failing to execute the pricing right for the transaction. His solution he researched out was this:

For anyone encountering similar issues: what worked in the end was to increase the gas limit to a very large amount (5 million), but to compensate for this by lowering the gas price to 2 GWEI. That made the transaction take longer, but at least it worked. Ended up losing a lot over a couple of attempts before this, however. The default suggested transaction fee and gas limit by MetaMask on the EOS distribution site (2 million gas limit, 21 GWEI) led to exaggerated fees of 0.042 ETH ($12) and did not work, and the exaggerated fee was lost (twice). In the end, the number of ETH contributed to the distribution round also spiked near the end, so the effective price of the distributed tokens was nearly equal to that on the exchanges. Therefore, it is most likely more cost effective to buy this token on an exchange.
