^ thank you. Does block chain have the resources to reimburse me.

As far as I know… this is not my fault and 110% block chain fault.

Tell me again how this is Blockchain.infos fault?

You did confuse the "amount" field with the "fee" field and then CONFIRMED the popup.

so?....

If i fucked up, and no one helps my oopsie… it makes everything bitcoin look bad. A giant ugly mole on its face that keeps growing.

Lol! I stopped reading right there! If you aren't smart enough to be using Bitcoin to buy your drugs online, then please stop! Blaming Bitcoin, or Blockchain for your fuck up is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! YOU are the one who typed in a box that you shouldn't even have been in! Suck it up and move on and learn from your mistakes!

I mean if he really went to such great length as to set the transaction fee himself in an advanced dialog, it really is his own fault, I guess. I do get people who say that Bitcoin isn't ready for the mass market and that things are still too complicated. But if people really use advanced features against advice and then mess things up, well... their fault I guess Sad

I do feel bad for you, as this was an honest mistake, but you need to recognize that it's YOUR mistake. You take no responsibility for your mistake. This is the equivalent of shooting someone and say it's the gun's fault. Stop playing the blame game. Then you resort to begging for everyone to chip in to help cover your loss, like it's the community's responsibility to cover for you. Stop with the attitude of entitlement. Lastly, people ARE trying to help you, as you can see from this thread. EVERYTHING related to bitcoin looks bad because of your one incidence? You're not that important.

All true, and very well said.

Use the standard Qt client. You can't change the fee amount unless you actively look for the setting.

Same happens with blockchain.info.

Is Bitfury GigaVPS? If so maybe you can try a PM to him on here or something.

This is the land of wolves now & you're not a wolf

Don't you guys think it is the best practice to just leave the fee sets to default on all clients? The fee is so small anyway, you don't even really notice it...

[...] Bitfury will probably return him his 0.2 BTC and he will learn a lesson.

Only if they mined that block. It was not confirmed that they did. Only hearsay and somebody "thinking" this was their address.

This is a perfect example of the kind of crap posts that got under my skin this morning. There were just so many to wade through this morning in this specific thread, all with nothing to contribute and they had obviously not read the thread. Sorry I went off all tilted like that. I am much calmer now that I have had my morning coffee

I understand you completely. I am the same way Cheesy

Btw OP is aware that it was his mistake and he is now waiting for reply from Bitfury. He nicely asked to send him that fee back and it doesn't mean that he lost it all. Bitfury will probably return him his 0.2 BTC and he will learn a lesson.

Did you accidentally set the transaction fee to high or was it auto set to that (were you even able to see what the fee was set to before sending)? Were you using the "advanced" feature of their new phone application?

He used the BCI web wallet and went to the advanced send section. There he confused the fee and the amount field.

Yeah that's what I figured. People shouldn't be using the advanced tab unless they know what they are doing, guess it's a good thing its turned off by default.

use electrum it let you set the fee easily without margin to mistakes

What does it do if you put the fee in where you should put the transfer amount and put the transfer amount in where you should put the fee?

Please try it and report back what happens. Thanks!

-_- you can't be serious.

There are ways to customize the fee in electrum.

Point is: OP went in to the advanced sending mode and made a mistake.

Sadly most threads work like this, look at the Lazlo's pizza thread, or at the "EU robbed me 700k€" thread.

Not really, I beleive every big fee mistake was given back if it was possible to identify the miner.

Something almost identical to that of OP's situation has happened before. In May 2014, someone accidentally reversed the amount and transaction fee fields while sending from a Blockchain.info wallet. He ended up sending 0.0003 BTC with a fee of 2.8 BTC:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/28-btc-transaction-fee-paid-help-please-final-update-refunded-by-ghashio-602152

The pool that mined the block which contained that fee was GHash.IO. After contacting them, he was able to get a full refund. So whether or not OP can get his 0.2 BTC back depends on identifying the pool which mined it and asking them for a refund.

and how do i track down miner and get them to communicate back to me?

Have you contacted coinkite with a signed message as prove that you sent the transaction? That is pretty much all you can do at that point.

who is or are coinkite and who is bitfury?

BitFury is a mining farm. Coinkite makes Bitcoin payment equipment. I don't think the two are related.

Quote from: BurtW on August 07, 2014, 07:42:42 AM

This page is filled with people posting without reading the fucking thread first. Yes, he sent an email to the miner. Yes, he got a response. Now read the thread before posting the same shit over and over.

I believe he did send a email to BitFury but I'm not sure if the mining pool that mined that block is indeed them since Blockchain.info says that someone or something called "Unknown with 1AcAj9p Address" mined that block. He is still waiting for a response from BitFury.

He did send an email to Blockchain.info however and received a reply (see further up the thread), but since Bitcoin transactions and their associated fees are irreversible, it's not like they can do anything about it.
