Topic: 15btc transaction fee, big mistake - page 13. (Read 12683 times)
Yikes, I would not be feeling good right now. What kind of wallet or interface would allow you to do that? There should be a double pop up confirmation for this or wallet software that can detect if it is clearly a mistake.
this mistake is the worst i have seen till now. ouch! a hard bite for the sender who has to pay the 15btc now from his own pocket but what the hell on earth was going in the brain of that user. is it just for popularity or to make loss insted of profit.this type of things became mistry just like satoshi 
Why would someone do that ! Its most likely to be a typing error maybe the person was entering 0.15 BTC or something.
I guess the sender would be kicking himself as he has lost a hefty amount transacting this transaction
At the same time The pool owner will be blushing himself on getting that much money which he would not have expected even in his wild dreams

Someone would like make a statement about something? Maybe some miner did it, just to show us normal user, we should all generous about fees.
why do people make these mistakes. cause this is not the first time nor the highest i have seen ~100BTC fee too, and there is no way someone makes this mistake while using a bitcoin wallet with an interface!
are they doing it by hand, like a code they edited to sign TX like in bot?!

quite possibly. heck, it could have been a bot entirely doing the trade for all we know.

Holy f.......
......Lucky for whoever mined block # 400893 though, must be a big payoff...
As i understand it, if some solo loto miner at cksolo pool mined the block, it would be the pool owner ck that picked up the BTC15. The miner would have the usual BTC25. Not that it happend that way but interesting all the same.......Lucky for whoever mined block # 400893 though, must be a big payoff...
How many individuals solo mine? Lucky pool owner hay.
Looking at the other transactions associated with that address, it looks like a pass through address. That whole 22 BTC's was sent just prior to that "fat finger" transaction, and there's another receive-send pair for the entire amount just before that one. So, it looks manipulated to me.
That made someone's day! Almost as good as finding a block 
Seems like simple human mistake by a small level trader. I feel sorry for the sender and who have mined the block with that transaction?
Holy fuck, who would fucking send 3 BTC with 15 BTC in fees? That's unbelievable. Some sort of error, I guess? Perhaps trying to type 0.00015, but instead typing 15 BTC to an unlucky bitcoin owner?

oh wow, just unbelievable! Another bug bounty?
It might seem funny or even fortunate for such luck in that large a transaction fee but Im thinking its a bad mistake for bitcoin overall if this is easily possible. If such mistakes are made and irreversible by a normal client sending coins it reflects badly on the whole network usage. I just hope it was a very customised send and probably a company that can write off the loss, hopefully no one person can ever do this while drunk or careless 'fat finger' type mistakes.
Ive always argued if BTC ever gets big it has to be idiot proof, shed that elitist technical origin if we want the whole world able to use this coin network and its likely a benefit overall

I feel bad to whoever did this (imagine the moment they realize what they did). Lucky to whoever mined that block (hit the jackpot). I doubt if the person who mined it, would think of return it (unfortunately) unless it's someone that its known at least. Either way hoping for the sender to get it back somehow.
wow! That is one hefty fee. Ouch. 
I just hope this is not a mistake that is made by someone who invested a lot of time and money in bitcoin. I can`t imagine doing such a massive mistake and getting over it easily. Hopefully a rich guy messing around to get some attention or for any other "funny" reason.
oh, this is a very expensive mistake, i saw before small mistakes, one time i write 100.000 satoshis for 10.000 (only one 0 mistake) but nothing like 15 btc. He wasted more money on fees than he / she send.
I'm looking at it and wow! Four confirmations....ouch....Is there any imaginable way to reverse that transaction or remedy it in anyway? Could it have been on purpose? Some ledger manipulation thing or something, or was just fat fingered?
whoever mined block #400893 and collected the fee can return them if they choose to do so. bitfury did that in the past. (someone correct me if I'm mistaken.)
don't know if that was just a mistake or not.
yes and others have done the same I think the worst one I saw was 97 coins. Asicminer aka friedcat returned it.
but my memory is meh don't take it for granted that I am correct.
In the transaction to that address just prior to the send there was a receive for the same exact amount....what might be the significance of that transaction? I don't know; it's starting to look like a manipulation to me.
EDIT: But for what reason? There's a couple pass throughs with that address.....strange.
