Remember manually tweaking gas to get transactions through? I 'member 🥲

Explaining canceling to a newer person was a dread. "Send yourself 0 ETH with more gas" 🤯

I remember manually constructing cancel txns and editing nonces too

particularly when mainnet price was spiking sheesh

I built an nft game for a Hackathon which had a brief moment of virality pre OZ defender and other relay tools

For a few hours our backend was rotating between 10 different manually funded priv keys to do txns on polygon so they dont end up getting stuck due to gas spikes or canceled with nonce reuse

And I was running a separate script locally to occasionally bump gas price to deal with stuck txns while marking that address as inactive

We didn't have time to build this properly and had to hack

Twas fun
