Quick question - did mining fees (for executing a BTC transaction) recently skyrocket?
Sent 0.1 BTC (One Tenth of a Bitcoin) from one of my wallets to my coinbase.com BTC wallet address.
I set transaction to process within 10 Blocks & the Minig Fee: was 0.0374815 BTC with BTC @ $5,707.00 = $213.91 USD

Thanks to all in advance for any insight into this issue. I'm more than a bit concerned!
