# Letter to Portis about `gasPrice`

Hello Portis Team!

It looks like portis is incorrectly calculating the gas price on RSK Testnet (and probably Mainnet, although I didn't check).

Consider this transaction:

const portis = new Portis('fe54c2ba-5781-4e34-80bb-694e828cf739', 'orchidTestnet');
const provider = portis.provider

provider.enable().then(accounts => {
  provider.send({
    method: 'eth_sendTransaction',
    params: [{ from: accounts[0], to: accounts[0], value: '10000' }]
  }, (err, res) => {
    if (err) {
      return console.log(err)
    }

    console.log('response: ', res)
  })
})

When I execute this transaction, I get the error "Something went wrong, please try again.", and a 500 error from the POST request:


If I dig into the failed POST error with the dev tools, I get the message:

{
    "code": -32010,
    "message": "transaction's gas price lower than block's minimum"
}

This is the raw transaction that is being sent with that failed post request:

`
0xf86649840234442d827b0c943dd03d7d6c3137f1eb7582ba5957b8a2e26f304a830100008062a0a839ca9c3481117a500d9f2f0d26b8e562bb82cb3a4c63388e588e02fadfc85ca03f7018e7edc2176c406b40e67cc63c14294dce564f89a03d5c4174e466af77c6
`

Decoded it looks like this:

{
  "nonce": 73,
  "gasPrice": 36979757,
  "gasLimit": 31500,
  "to": "0x3dd03d7d6c3137f1eb7582ba5957b8a2e26f304a",
  "value": 65536,
  "data": "",
  "from": "0xf192077f41542cfd2410bdea001379867c88bbf4",
  "r": "a839ca9c3481117a500d9f2f0d26b8e562bb82cb3a4c63388e588e02fadfc85c",
  "v": "62",
  "s": "3f7018e7edc2176c406b40e67cc63c14294dce564f89a03d5c4174e466af77c6"
}

The gasPrice that is choosen is less than what [RSK testnet currently accepts](https://stats.testnet.rsk.co/). Right now, this number should be around 59000000. There is more information about RSK's gas price in [RSKIP09](https://github.com/rsksmart/RSKIPs/blob/master/IPs/RSKIP09.md).

Thanks!
