There's two possibilities : a mistake (the most probable) or the sender want his transaction to be proceeded really fast (maybe this don't make it being proceeded faster and thus this is the first possibility). This also may be just a dumb guy but it seems really probable to me, that's why I didn't included it in the possibilities list.

I agree completely. It definitely seems suspicious to me too. However like you said he might just not be too computer-savvy or coin-savvy Tongue

As the title states. Why on earth would some one do this? Is it a mistake, or done on purpose?

This tx includes 0.2493BTC as fee; http://blockr.io/tx/info/621cd73e184ef9180f2b3451a1b5b244de48e07effc9be6b731f7466358a924f

This tx includes 0.7901BTC as fee; http://blockr.io/tx/info/07f11415bc6b6a4611c96812e2d40b8a53554e64c7f0bdf9a2bb7c6eeb2b43e7

as blockchain rules,more fee and more speed of transaction,i can't imagine if they pay that much fe,so how about the trnsaction speed?about 1 second per transaction? Cheesy

Did we ever find out if someone had paid that amount of fee by mistake? no sane person could have possibly meant it.

Once i was sent to coinex.pw(rip) 0.5 btc and l forget to give a fee!
I had to await about 3 f.... days. And after that coinex.pw was hacked, and l lost 0.5btc!
I was piss as hell..Just wanted to buy doge coins then were cheaper on coinex.pw..

So dont forget to give a small fee!

I do believe the impending fee market will surprise a lot of people. Like a hammer to the elbow.

either he is some dumb guy or he wants some attraction and last probability is that he is too rich to be able to pay such amount of fees.

Rankings from most to least likely

1) Mistake
2) Someone stole money and wanted it moved as fast as possible
3) Someone with tons of coins did it as a prank

I'm guessing it's #2.
I really doubt it's a prank because no one would spend that much money on a prank...

As other said, it could be a mistype transaction fees or the person wanna donate the Bitcoin to miner that helps secure the Bitcoin network. I remember seeing a thread with transaction fees as back as 10 BTC - not really sure.

But seriously if that happens to me I don't know what I'm going to do that a huge amount just for paying fees.

yes this has to be a mistake. when i read the topic on this thread i looked forward to see some big transaction and i was disappointed. those fees for such "small" transactions has to be a mistake.

And here another person that has paid a significant fee for his transaction. 2.83BTC in total. It's most likely another costly mistake.

More than welcome bonus for the pool that minted this block.

I honestly thing that could be a possible mistake? or probably he's willing to contribute more to the miners? But then it's a pretty huge amount of Bitcoins, haven't seen a large fee payout.

Is there any follow up of the big fee event? Has the fee been returned?

I think that this big fees are a mistake that a new user that didn't know so much about how it works. Are high fees for small transactions, it makes no sense. Minners that found the block will be very happy with users that made this kind of mistakes.

he scammed someone maybe and want high priority for the transfer? this thing happned with the hacker on bitstamp, i remember the hacker payed 1 btc for the fee

Even if he used 1% of the fees he paid, he would get high priority.

The guy that hacked Bitstamp paid really high fees to get his stolen coins moved really fast because Bitstamp had figured out what he was up to. The hacker and Bitstamp had a battle to move the coins first because they both had the private keys.

Those transactions in the OP could have been made by a hacker who wanted to move stolen coins really fast, and who didn't care how high the fees were because they were paid with stolen coins.

I don't know what you are talking about. Haven't you checked the transactions? The total amount of both of them is around 3 BTC. Do you think it makes any sense to steel 3 BTC and to pay over 1 BTC as fees?

Probably it was a mistake when sending the bitcoins, this can happen.
But i wonder, was it confirmed very fast Tongue

, really waste of hundreds of dollars.
