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

What is really happening? I'm not sure this is often the case, and why users still want to do a transaction if he knows it will be a fee for it?
This may be a very rare error, but still I am worried this will often happen, I can not imagine a transaction fee by almost 30%

It is really shocking that some one has paid so big amount as fees to do transactions only in Bitcoins. It may be happened through error or he doesn't know about the fees and Bitcoins much about it.

Mistake I guess, but here's a real whopper (still recent, 2015/4) with a fee of 86 bitcoins.
The guy was combining p2sh inputs to one p2pkh address. I guess the complications helped the slip up.
Damn, I'd be kicking myself.

This seems to me like an appreciation shown by someone to miners for their work, maybe... Wink

Else, no one is such a stupid nowadays to pay this much in a fee at current value of BTC, unless he/she has lots of coins to just throw away like this...

So who will get the of bitcoon fee..?

Discus Fish is the pool mined this block 390619 (most probably) so it is likely their own transaction

No. They are not our transactions.

It was a Christmas gift to the miners that will eventually trickle down to the bitcoin community.
Tis the season of giving Wink

That's exactly what I've said in previous page. From right pocket to left pocket. They use this system sometimes.
Miners get fees, so miners can do these type of things.

A gift to the "Bitcoin Community" paid in the spirit of gratuity for the extreme savings realized.

Zerohedge had a recent article about moving money out of China.
Of 63million Yuan sent, only 8 million arrived outside China.
With Bitcoin, 100% arrived.
Who to tip??

Of course was a mistake, there are topics here about people that sent high fees by mistake.

And the fee will go to whoever mines the block.

A costly mistake to make, huh. That guy must be high.

I remember during early days when Satoshi was testing transactions, he would include 50 BTC as fee, and because he was the only miner, he would receive those fee back into his wallet

Similarly, these might be miner constructed transactions to test some function, and since they are included in his own mined block, he does not lose anything

Mostly a big mistake of the sender

May be a mistake. But I smell any possible hacking.
When the bitstamp's hot wallet was compromised, the hacker paid 1 full BTC to make his transaction to get picked by the new block against the bitsatmp owner's transactions.
That kind of situation may be behind in this high fee also.

its not that someone is super rich or show boating to send those coins with huge trans fee, it was a simple mistake. was trying to get the hang out of it..it comes down to the point that everyone should know what trans fees you are shelling out with each transactions rather than having a blind eye on the default fees

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

But it's not Bitstamp. Bitstamp can detect the unauthorised TX fairly easily with the infrastructure and hence 1BTC would make any miner happy. No one in the right mind would immediately pay up to 1 BTC as a transaction fee just to prevent any double spend.

Judging by how both TXes only have one output. It would be possible that the client made an error and forgot to include any change address and thus the amount not redeemed is the miner fee. It's an expensive error.

is not for preventing double spend, it was for sending the funds asap , the hacked at that time did it for taht reason on bitstamp

Why would they want the funds ASAP? They need at least a confirmation to try to stop Bitstamp from double spending it. If they don't, Bitstamp can easily double spend it by asking a few miners to mine their TX and move it elsewhere.

it's not so easy for bitstamp to doublespend by asking miners, you say it like it's somethign they can do at will

the hacker wanted to get the funds asap to avoid the account being locked from bitstamp, supposedly

It is. As long as a miner is willing to help, they can include Bitstamp's TX.

No. AFAIK, bitstamp does not allow any TX fee adjustments. The hacker got in control of the wallet.dat and password[1]. At this point, both parties have the private key and hence they need to prevent each other from getting the confirmed TX.
