Some observations on my use of ant 0.3.8 RC version

An update, the gas fee jumped over 500 times and chewed through my 100$ of gas super fast at 10 dollar and more per 4 chunk upload.

This is real bad @chriso @dirvine since we don’t know (not informed in the ant upload) in advance what the gas fee is going to be, we cannot tell the uploader to not proceed if gas will be above a certain amount. Let alone if the amount of ANT is over a certain amount.

The gas fee was approx 2 cents for the 4 chunks for a while then rose quickly to well over 1000 cents. At 2 cents my 100$ should have uploaded on the order of 5000 test 4 chunk files. But at that rate it was 10 files.

This is not good in my opinion that the gas can shoot up so much and we have no way of knowing. If ant file upload even said what the gas was for an upload then it would be possible not to upload anymore till it drops again
