Lately ETH fees have been skyrocketing and I have been paying 50 cents for a normal eth transaction and over $1 for contract functions. Used to be a few pennies at most to get your transaction confirmed quickly.
Honestly, transaction fees on ethereum block chain have become somehow unbearable nowadays. Transaction that I used to do with just $0.01 before can hardly go even with $0.3. And it is not that the ETH price is on increase like that in order to justify for it. Hope it will be rectified promptly.
