Fees at blockchain.info wallet are INSANELY high after they added Eth... or at least within this past week they implemented some new price gouge... I wanted to send .5 btc or thereabouts, and this is the message I see...

This is an oversized bitcoin transaction!

Your wallet needs to consolidate many smaller payments you've received in the past. This requires a relatively high fee in order to be confirmed quickly.

So now they want nearly $42 to send a value of .5 btc ... That's a LOT higher than it used to be!

Any thoughts, comments?
