Topic: Somebody paid $310,000 in transaction fee to send 0.1eth (Read 1008 times)
This was a dumb move by the sender I wonder which wallet he was using to send it gas is always automatic in some wallets.
That's indeed a nice tip for the miners 
It's even worse than ordering stuff online for $5 and paying $10 for the delivery

Yeah right. I think Miners are rejoicing for this amount to process. I dont know if this is a trip but this guy is crazy to send an amount of 0.1eth alone having a fee greater than what he send. In every platform there is a suggestion for gas fee right? Havent this guy paying attention to it?
I do not know if this person didnt know what they did and switch the sending amount with the transaction fee or what happened. But I think their boss will be giving them a talk tomorrow morning on why their customer didnt get the payment they were suposse to.
That is 2100 ethereum to the miners. As the comments say "They must be happy!

LOL, how did you find the transaction ? This is very hilarious.
I guess they was wrong to set the gas fee, it was 100,000,000 gwei, no wonder it was 2,100 ETH fee.
If you see the history of their transaction, there are more 2 transactions before, using 210 and 420 ETH for fee.
Who could have made such a heavy blunder. Such mistakes are the more reason folks so should not only double check but triple check before giving any command when financial transactions are involved

If i would not see it i would not believe it. I wonder if they realised the mistake they made. This is the prove that certain thing should not be done in hurry. That is 2100 ethereum to the miners. As the comments say "They must be happy!

There is a transaction receipt before sending the eth right? Why didn't he saw that before he sent the money? Sometimes it's the users' problem. And also, why are you putting your bag of eth in one wallet. It should be diversed.
No need to diverse our funds if our wallet is secured,all we need to do is little bit extra care while making transaction by double check the entered values.
Can this swap miners? Look, I don’t think that someone can get mad so many times in a row. I think this is not a mistake but a deliberate act that would raise the price of Eth. 
As far as I know, mining pools are waiting for the person who is responsible for this transaction to appear, they are going to return this money to him, if he does not appear, the funds will be divided between the pool members.
This is correct, I posted a link to an article 3 days ago in this same thread about Sparkpool. I've been watching the sending address and I saw some activity, so they have probably already contacted the mining pool? https://etherscan.io/address/0x587ecf600d304f831201c30ea0845118dd57516e
But before the crazy transaction happened, there were another 2 weird transactions with 210 ETH and 420 ETH fee and another one of 420 ETH fee after the 2,100 ETH..
Here they are:

Geez, And another one with 840 ETH fee:

What a bunch of lucky birds.. But WTF went wrong? Someone got drunk, crazy or hacked?
As shasan posted earlier with this link to the article source.

What the heck did they do?
That was a huge money I am sure who ever made that transaction is so depress right now,
I mean look at how much money he/she have wasted ,
2100 ETH just to send 0.1 ETH.
It was an accident done by a firm in south korea according to the article above first posted by shasan as I found about the follow up to the story late last night and just remembered to post an update to the thread.That was a huge money I am sure who ever made that transaction is so depress right now,

Of course the employee who did the error was fired.

Wow! this is indeed a food for thought for those who enter into the crypto industry without being educated about it. This might have been caused by lack of knowledge on handling crypto transactions. This is indeed very sad
There seems to be a big mistake but how such a mistake can be made. As much money as I've never seen in my life is just a transfer fee. I wonder what happened to him later.
biggest mistake ever.we need to recheck everything while make transaction even that ethereum, bitcoin or other coins.one little mistake will has big impact to our balance.
This is obviously a mistake and a very expensive one in fact. And the fact that mistakes like this is very possible is one of the major problems that is keeping cryptocurrencies from going mainstream.
From the looks if it he or she adjusted the eth of the transaction fee to 2100 when he may have just wanted to adjust the gas fee.
Mistakes like this happen in crypto

Holy crap, is this true? How does it happened? I cannot imagined that the fees for miners is almost 1000x bigger than the amount of the transaction being sent? I cannot figure out, what he has done or what, but i cannot believe it is happening.
This is true dude just check the txhash and you will see its transaction this anonymous person is so stupid to spend too much money for the gas fee in this transaction hmmmmm. I feel something fishy in this event well whatever this is not my money I imagine the face of this person.

This is one of the biggest mistakes I have encountered in the cryptocurrency space.
This only goes to show that cryptocurrencies and cryptography transactions are still a mile off mass adoption because the average consumer is not going to be technically inclined so this kind of mistakes will continue to happen over and over again it's best to just avoid it by being careful.
ETH gas fees can be a bit tricky to set sometimes.
