Nick Johnson b06e20bc7c eth/gasprice: set default percentile to 60%, count blocks instead of transactions (#15828)
The first should address a long term issue where we recommend a gas
price that is greater than that required for 50% of transactions in
recent blocks, which can lead to gas price inflation as people take
this figure and add a margin to it, resulting in a positive feedback
loop.
