Description
It can be helpful for users to generate a Zeth transaction payload, cache it locally (can be persisted on file for ease at first), and fire the actual transaction later. In fact, this would allow to target specific gas price to fire the transaction on the network.
As we know that the number of txs in the tx pool varies (demand for block space varies), the cost of transacting on the target system isn't always the same. Gas price fluctuates (even after EIP1559 on Eth. mainnet) and thus it may be helpful for users to generate the zeth tx payload (the commitments, zkp etc), cache it locally, and fire the tx when gas price drops. This can also be automated by adding some logic in the wallet, e.g. zeth mix --out <your-options> --gwei 120.
Th tx payload can now be generated (without fireing the tx by using the --dry-run flag). We then need to persist this into a file (or cache it) and fire it again on the network either on user input (in which case we need to add a list of ready to be submitted transaction to the wallet state) or automatically when the gas price follows below a target threshold (i.e. see the --gwei flag above). This can be helpful for users who want to pay a target gas price while willing to minimize the time their transactions spend in the transaction pool, all without needing to monitor transaction pools and services like: https://www.gasnow.org/ (soon to be deprecated) or https://ethgasstation.info/.
