I am not in expert in mining but few months ago, I read a post about someone (he is Bitcointalk member) and he actually spent around 111 BTC or something as fees but he did something with an expert and eventually got back his money.

[Resolved] 111 BTC AS FEES (don't do raw tx's when you're tired)

Damn! That is one hell of mistake and the miner who got to process the transaction is one lucky bastard! Imagine if a solo miner got to process this transaction, he could have got the entire ROI from this single transaction.

I just wondering , how can this type of mistake possible? I think fee are automatically being charged right. This is such huge huge mistake ever , I can't even imagine if that was me. Pheww. Looking at current btc price and 15 btc as fee. I'm going to shop and buy myself a rope. LoL !
Yeah I'm having the same thought, this has happened a long time ago, at least it's enough for bitcoin's price to go sky high, and I can't even imagine how much 15 bitcoin is right now. I mean if I ever made such mistake, it would strike me down and I think I wouldn't live for long Cry Anyways I have a deep sorrow for that man, it must have been a difficult time for him to gain back what've lost.
There is nothing to be sorry for.At the time it does mean shit to him and the valuation at that time was such it doesnt mean you lost much .No one expected the price to rise like this and if anyone had any clue everyone would be jumping on to this ship on hearing about it in the first place and i am sure no one does that.

Yea , this (btc) actually money for programmer. Who know this Bitcoin currency now is THE KING OF ALL CURRENCIES in the world. 1btc = 1024USD nobody know 😉

If someone doing such transaction I don't he is small holder of btc us (me). I think he already covering up what he have lost. Now that 15 btc is more than 15k USD. Phew phew phew. Hope he won't looking back at the past lol 😂

OMG That so much sux bad. I hope the person that had to pay for that whopper fee didn't have a heart problem and ticker failure. I think I would have been mortified lol if that was me.

ahaah, are you sure that they are doing something bad thing ..?? . I think that all the things said is not something the right thing, or it could be said that all the data he found was real because it is derived from transaction data mining or not of giving someone a fee. So think properly, and never try or do it. Because a seller that success comes from the way he offers products and talk with others. If we could read every utterance and its views, then there are lots of benefits

Blockchain do not forgive dumb actions. There is no way back.

You have to check all of your bitcoin related actions twice before you execute them. (you better check them triple if you have a weak memory or experienced a situation like the one in the topic title in the past.)

You may do a mistake while using regular banking and ask for their help but not with blockchain. No customer service here.

Epic blunder. There should exist some chargeback function for fee blunders.
As long as it only returns the fees to the sender for a specific amount and still left the required minimum fees then it's fine otherwise if the thing works like PayPal's chargeback it might be a bad idea.
And unfortunately it seem that this feature is just never be implemented into bitcoin though, just my 2 cents

There is no charge back function if you do some blunders and that is how bitcoin works.This might be a test done by the developers to check how things go and i am sure no one with sane mind would do these kind of things.

This is unfortunate that happened due to mistakes due to carelessness. Somehow it has benefited the miners and the user seems to be the unluckiest person. If he had lost through gambling he could have not worried much, because already everyone know the risk of gambling.

That is very sad for whoever sent such a large fee. I wonder if the fee was put in manually or it was an error caused in the blockchain. Whatever it was I really feel bad for the unfortunate person who paid the chunky fee.

It happens when you dont know to count which i dont believe having this much coins in their arsenal or forget using the googles ,always use power glasses while sending coins if you are blind or ask for assistance . Cheesy to send 3 BTC he sent 15.6 BTC what a funny story it would have being.

If this person set 15 btc as the transaction fee, then how much was being sent? Am guessing they sent 0.002 btc or something less as the mistakenly swapped the two  because that's the only logical explanation I have come up with.

If you are not agreeing with the default tx fee, then you need to be extra-careful. Had this guy used the default fee, then at the most he might have paid BTC0.001 or BTC0.002 as the transaction fee. He tried to lower it, and as a result lost all his coins.

So what happened in the end? Did the miners reimbursed the coins to the person? Or they kept it?

I think a mistake just happen, If I am the sender I will surely be very awful because If I sent the 15 btc for just the transaction fee it is a very big mistake , The miners is surely lucky about this transaction but the sender is surely disappointed with the mistake happened.
