Topic: Somebody paid $310,000 in transaction fee to send 0.1eth - page 2. (Read 978 times)
I cannot believe that such things are still happening. I think this person will remember this for the whole life. Always check the contract address, the transaction amount and the gas fee and you won't make such mistakes. It is very sad, because it is a matter of 30 seconds to check everything.
This transaction made a lot of noise on the network. One of the theories is that this is washing the “dirty” Ether through the mining pools, but it seems too fantastic to me, it’s impossible to agree with all the pools.
This is not the first such transaction with a high commission in the network of Ethereum.

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?
wow that's so much and I think that's the problem of cryptocurrency one day i made a mistake on forkdelta and lost 1500 $ , why such transaction is confirmed
It's not the problem of cryptocurrency! It's the problem of people's low IQ. Most wallets even give you a warning when the fee is too low or too high. Some wallets don't allow you to manually enter fee. You can only increase and decrease it by some set number like +100% over the average. To spend so much on fees you have to try hard and be an idiot.
It is now the joke of the year,all shocked by this,like this was possible many wonder?maybe it's the admins of the project was,so to say to yourself, Cashing did? read the article it says about it,yet no one knows really,everyone will find out something like this!
Yeah but you know what? That was THE FASTEST MOFO $14 Transaction EVER!!!!
Not really, there have been faster $14 worth of Ethereum transactions with normal fees. The extremely high fee didn't speed up the mining process or whatsoever
It should not be possible for anyone to send 2100 ETH in mining fees. The blokchain should automatically refuse to mine that transactions, setting a max mining fee should be standart, but greed or lack of responsibility from the Ethereum team still let people lose tons of money.
Excuse me? How can you blame the network for this? It's the user that should be more responsible, especially when they work with such big amounts. Like, DOUBLE CHECK before clicking the send button? It's a client-side mistake, and nobody knows what kind of wallet this user have used. Blaming the Ethereum team and network makes no sense.

i wanna be the miner to just mine this one!
wel the MEW now is really in good picture. i like the way they change the website!
Though dont ever to always on the button or change it to see it.
The gas and the last one! make sure to see it as alway, this might be a big problem the LIMIT GAS!

the amount of loss was fantastic but I doubt whether it was indeed a loss or intentional thing because I saw there were 20 thousand transaction histories but hopefully this is purely because of an error and hopefully the 2000 ethereum returns
I have never made or had this huge amount and i am trying to think of what the Pierson might be going through at the moment, making such serious mistake.
It might be too big for him to handle.
It is unfortunate that it is not going to a known address, else hr might have had a chance of retrieving.

How you lost $1,500 in forkdelta? Explaining on how the transaction happened can be reviewed if you will ever read all of the previous comments. Yes, this is a large amount just for a transaction and this didn't happened once but a couple of times too with bitcoin.
in all the cases that i have heard so far, every single one of them was caused by the user running a customized script or wallet or something like that which wasn't tested well enough and it contained bugs.
I do not believe in it. I work for a year and can't earn more than $ 10,000. Maybe he drank a few bottles of wine before doing this. It will be a lesson for him if he is careless in the future.
Many speculations on what might transpire. Meanwhile as I read few days ago that a cryptocurrency mining pool has frozen the fee and now in the custody of the huge ETH waiting for the sender to reach out on how to go about it.
I can't understand how this is even possible, because normally I don't think the whole transaction feels will get used up in the transaction. Just like times when I have made transactions in the past and I set transaction fees to be slightly higher than what is needed, then as soon as the transfer goes through, the extra eth for the transaction remains in my wallet.
However the miners would be the benefactors

After exploring the transaction from that address, it can send many transactions in the same time. So I think they used automatic script for sending and maybe the script has a bug about fee.
These jokes are not comparable what they send is only 0.1 ETH while the transaction is so large how many times that?
Is this a mistake why this happened?
Is this a mistake why this happened?
I think this is not a mistake, it cannot happen that he sent 0.1 ETH but attached with the fee so high. Suppose this is someone's joke that can't happen, why this joke creator didn't send that 2100 ETH into their wallets
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!

Really a terrible mistake
Especially if there is no way to recover money
The catastrophic error of some people lies in
Do not review process data more than once
And does not deal with the steps to be taken seriously.
Yes indeed, once it has been sent and the transaction is done, it will never be recover again.
But I was thinking that high transaction fee is possible, I never think of that. Because once you made a transaction the fee is
automatically program in the amount that you are going to withdraw, am right? But whatever, it is still a big mistakes
to give a Fee in the transactions.
