EIP-1559: Fee market change for ETH 1.0 chain

Again, EIP-1559 is not trying to reduce gas prices. That is not a goal of this EIP. There are a number of efforts underway to reduce gas prices (increase supply of block space) but that is orthogonal to this EIP. If your goal is reduced gas costs, I encourage you to support and offer assistance to people building those solutions like rollups and sharding.

EIP-1559 is not trying to prevent large gas price surges. I don’t know who is thinking this, but please send them links to resources that help them better understand the purpose of EIP-1559 and what it solves!
