Similar to others, had a truly terrible experience trying to swap on ethereum over the weekend. Failed transactions still costing me around $200. Having to enable "Flashbots" setting on Rainbow. What naming! Imagine explaining all this to a new person who's just set up a self custody wallet. 🤦‍♂️

i was a new person not long ago and had to learn it all. i guess tax fillings are thus complex. letting go off several crucial security upsides in the name of simplicity causes robberies. but account abstraction will kinda ease it. However, i prefer titanium wallets and PoW over the human element.

It’s absurd the amount you pay for gas. I’m surprised this ecos lasted this long.

What were you trying to swap? On what exchange?

I minimize my transactions on mainnet after L2 experiences

Clearly out of my depth swapping a blue chip asset on a retail targeted app. Should have let this trade to the pros.

The egregeous gas fees actually prevented me from panic selling the bottom on dai/usdc 😅

any reason you keep funds on mainnet as opposed to Optimism or something?
