did i just lose a .2btc transaction because the fee was set at .2btc?

Aww man, I'm so sorry reading that!! Things can be confusing in advanced settings, yeah... Better just stick to the regular send-feature! I once almost screwed up with those long Bitcoin addresses. Mixed up a few numbers or letters. It was already pretty late and I was out partying!

FYI: Bitcoin addresses have a built in "checksum" so if you type any digit incorrectly it will not be accepted as a valid Bitcoin address. You would have to change and swap the letters and digits in a very non trivial way in order to accidently create another valid address - for all practical purposes it is impossible. If you do manage to be lucky enough to mistype an address in such a way as to create a different valid address then you are so lucky you should be playing the lotto every chance you get.

The OP did not send funds to an invalid address, he gave way to much of a fee to the miner that confirmed his TX.

Dude...it is 0.2BTC. 118.9USD. Get a job, make the money back, and get on with your life.

Yeah most people waste 10 times more time on lost money than they would have with earning that money back...

There is currently a thread with >100 posts, where a girl has 1 "ONE" USD stuck.... hahaha

I wonder why that post just so happened to get all that extra attention. Tongue

What if he is from some third world country and 120$ is huge amount to earn? I would just give up on my BTC if this kind of mistake happens to me.

If it was, he'd better read before clicking buttons.

Lol, you've nailed it Cheesy

oh it was very unusual, if they are not aware of the use fee?

is that true? or just a mere false?

Seems like true and it was OP's mistake.

^^ Not a miner so I'm not certain about this but I thought all the pools held their miners details for security purposes? Not that this is one but I'm just saying they SHOULD know who's address it is.

I've never heard of a pool holding anyone's details and I don't think the address that got this tx fee is a pool anyhow.

What exactly do you mean by 'details'? It depends on what we are trying to figure out. It is relatively simple to find out which pool mined the block in question. Well, at least if it is a known address. Then you could go and ask the pool for a refund, complete with a signed message that proves you actually own the sending address. The rest is up to the pool operator and the pool's terms and conditions!

If there's one criticism I have of blockchain.info it's that you have to manually input the fee so I can see how this could happen. It should be autofilled with the suggested amount based on what transaction you're attempting to send.

Well basically every wallet in existence does exactly that. The only thing that could still be implemented in all the major wallets would be a warning that pops up when you type in a transaction fee that is unreasonably high or even degrees of magnitudes above the actually transmitted BTC amount!

Oh, really? I think I must've been using the custom send then. That's good then. I'll try do that next time Cheesy
