After contacting CEX.IO support, my fee has been returned to me, via TXID b4fe7f820d22f328e56382aca73cd5ad279a5e1a2998537eccef7f9f216e0044.

Wow, that's a big fee. I'm sorry to hear that you've lost so much. Have you tried contacting GHash.IO yet? It's unlikely they'd return it but it's worth a shot.

Since blockchain.info didn't have the private keys to sign any modifications to your transaction, it must have been created incorrectly. What software did you use? Do you have any log of the commands you used to create the raw transaction?

I've emailed Cex.IO and GHash.IO, as well as contacted GHash.IO's support site. I hope to hear back from them soon.
I created the raw tx using BitWallet, although I probably did something wrong copy-pasting the raw transaction somewhere along the line.

You signed the transaction, blockchain.info couldn't have modified it.

> I specified a no-fee transaction using one specific input and creating one specific output.

The fee is the difference between the value of the inputs and the value of the outputs. If you don't want to include a fee, you'll need an output for the "change" left over.

I used an input that was BTC0.01075, included no fee, and created an output that was BTC0.01075. I also ran it through the blockchain.info transaction decoder before submitting it to verify it, and it looked entirely alright.

So I made a raw transaction sending 0.01075 BTC from my address to another address using BitWallet. I submitted it through blockchain.info's pushtx feature, and it broadcast THIS transaction over the network: e136d18149f1833fafe93d96a10e6a02bd898f789a8b35ed0007789c87e594e4. Notice the huge fee :O In my raw transaction, I specified a no-fee transaction using one specific input and creating one specific output. NO IDEA what happened here.

Could somebody please help me out here? I have not much experience with raw transactions and this...is essentially my entire Bitcoin balance Sad

EDIT: Transaction confirmed, block was mined by GHash.IO. Is there any chance that I could get my fee back?
