I can't see that happening. BTC Guild pays the tx fees to the miners, so they don't have the 2.2 BTC anymore.

Ah, then OP has made a very generous contribution to bitcoin miners

You could email the pool explaining your issue, and possibly signing the message with the address which sent the fee, but they are not obligated to return it to you so it's really up to them  Undecided Good luck!

I did a Brainwallet TX and instead of .0001 fee it did a 2.2 BTC fee!

Could you post a link to the tx?

Well damn. Let this be an expensive lesson, check the JSON transaction is correct before sending. Son of a bitch.

Hmm something to remember when dumping cold storage then.  Send all coins.

Not really much to say other than:

used brainwallet.org for a transaction. Apparently it failed to generate the second output back to the sending address in the JSON transaction, thus it was all included as a fee. I have no fucking clue how to replicate the bug.
