• Gas Price (GWEI) is a very small amount of ether. You convert it by moving the decimal 9 places to the left. For example, 25 GWEI = 0.000000025 ETH. • Gas Limit is how much gas you will allow the miners to use. For CryptoKitties, a commonly used amount is 200,000. • Gas Limit * GWEI = Maximum Tx Fee Ex. 200,000 * 25 GWEI = (200000*0.000000025) = 0.005 ETH During times of high use, you have to pay a higher gas price to entice miners to prioritize your transaction. You can gauge approximately how much you need to pay by visiting ethgasstation.info/. Your actual transaction fee will be lower than what you set as your max. (But if you set your limits too low, your transaction will fail and you’ll still have to pay the fee for the operations completed.) In Metamask, you can manually set your own Gas Limit and Gas Price. I usually use 250,000 for my Gas Limit, and check ethgasstation for my Gas Price. If I want to buy a kitty and I’m afraid someone else might snatch it up, I pay a slightly higher gas price to get the transaction completed quickly. If I’m just breeding a few of my cats, I can set the gas price a little lower to save some money. (Don’t set it too low or your transaction might get stuck in “pending”.) Happy CryptoKittying!

It's too bad the developers can't figure out how to keep the gas prices low. The last few days have been absolute killers- can't make any transaction under $5.00
