Description
**Describe the bug**
Bounty payout calls are being sent with a suggested `gas_price` which is too low (5gwei).
Since the adoption of EIP 1559, we should avoid suggesting a `gas_price` and let the users wallet discover this value itself.
This likely also means that any of our gas price aware contract calls site-wide are being sent with the wrong `gas_price` too, additionally, the fact that the page recommends 5gwei (the default amount) would suggest that the `sync_gas_fees` mgmt command is also broken since EIP 1559.
**Definition of done**
GIVEN I am a bounty funder looking to pay out a contributor on a specific bounty
