Story geth client by default sets 4Gwei minimum priority fee requirements. This means that if a node operator uses Story geth client’s default --story flag to run the node, it will only allow transactions that have more than 4Gwei’s priority fee.
The increased minimum priority fee requirements make the developer experience worse as Ethereum’s default minimum priority fee is 0.001 Gwei, which is much lower. Ethereum developers that integrate with Story are not familiar with the 4Gwei restriction and will be confused about why their transactions are stuck if they don’t set enough priority fee.
The proposal is to remove the 4Gwei minimum priority fee restriction and use the same 0.001Gwei minimum priority fee as default. Since most of the node operators initially will use the default --story to start the node, it makes sense to update the Story geth client’s --story default config to use this value.
