How do I custom set a nonce using my ethers-instantiated contract via MetaMask?

[michaelcohen716]

I'm trying to send two transactions consecutively from the interface (one after the other before the first one confirms). Unable to find any documentation or example code on this subject. Is there a best practice here? (or any practice?)

@ricmoo is this possible with ethers?

That is a good question. Generally you could bake the nonce in yourself, but I need to experiment with Metamask to see what happens if you do. I need this for a higher-level library I'm working on too, so I'll try a few things and possibly bug MM this week if the experiments aren't promising. :)

If you aren't using Metamask though, just pass in the nonce (by calling provider.getTransactionCount(addr)) and then for the next transaction nonce + 1.
