Between block `3137557` and `3145621` here is what I calculated:

[blockFeeData.csv](https://github.com/dismad/zebraUtilities/blob/main/dev/blockFee.json.csv)

```auto
Total Fees	92.46838518
Max Fee 2.29065513
Median Fee	0.00365
Average Fee	0.011465391838809671

```

So at a price of $500 per `ZEC` that equals `$46,234.19259` for the week, which is MUCH lower. Would love for others to verify 🙂
