It's fair yes. 0.5-2$ cost just one month ago @ 10-14k vs 30-50$ for last weeks @ 15-19k. I don't think that it's fair at all. It only shows the impotence or manipulative greed of the people who are supposed to keep the network running.

If this continues it will bring no good, to people doing less then 500$ per transactions, actual users not traders.
