The amount of 2100 ethereum had been traced to the pool it was sent to.
Spark pool stated they will send it back to the one who comes forward to claim it.
Which I doubt they will track this individual down so they would need to contact them.
If it isnt claimed in an allotted amount of time they will just distribute it among the miners who helped the day the block was mined.

They don't need to wait until anyone claims those ETH, they can simply send them to the same address from which they were sent, they don't need to do anything else.

Oh dear, this is such a costly mistake, I believe this guy should be feeling miserable to lose so much money for a mistake. Although it is USD 300,000 atm, but it is going to worth millions if Bull Run start and ETH go back to the previous ATH.

Holy Cow. It is always good to check before you clicked probably the guy who made this freaking mistake are now attempting suicide or if not probably loss the will to live.

I think eth network should have a solution for this kind of situation/ or restrict some gas fee to maximum gas payment that depends on speed that can be deducted from the transaction fee. Obviously it is not due to network congestion but to a clumsy hand and we cant avoid having people like this. Vitalik must do a solution here.

Miners are probably partying now for this.

I agree with you mate!

I think the eth network should be checking and investigating this kind of turf and must make a help by implementing a safe gas consumption.

310k$ is a huge amount the person should probably made a terrible mistake. Cant the miners refund this? Fot God sake people should watch stuff before clicking or you might end up like this.

Miners have a great party whole doing on this transaction, but really did not understand how it was happened, any error with gas price setting might be, really paid heavy price for just a small 0.1 transfer of ether.

how could that person pay a fee of 2100 etherum when he only sent 0.1? there must be something wrong with the ongoing transaction.

Oh that is very huge amount of money and I think that people will really sad because they did not big mistake in his/her in life.
We don't know what is the purposes of the sending the ethereum but for sure now they are are really sad and they did not know what he can do. But they will get back again his /her money because once the transaction fee set you don't have way to get back. So better soon always check the transaction fee you make.

Damn, that's such a big amount of eth. In my opinion, the sender was mistakenly put gas that worth 0.1 eth in amount of eth to send box and 2100 eth that supposed to be the real amount of eth to send in gas box. At least this case makes me to be more aware before sending my ether.

What the hell. Is that possible? What Ethereum wallet allows to do that? When you use Myetherwallet you can only set the gas limit, there is no chance to make such mistake.

This transact need to be investigated because it is highly abnormal. If it is from the sender then this is the mistake of the year. The miner of this transact will smile all day. I made mistake that cost me almost 1.2ether, that day i was angry with myself how much more of this.

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! Grin

I think he is having a good time with his ethereum, he is helping the community to gain support by just doing that kind of thing which allot of us find not appropriate. I do really hope he just paid me rather pay a transaction fee that big.

That's what happens when you put too much gas price, someone had made same mistake with coinomi wallet last year, they later put measures to prevent that.

Thats gotta hurt, Was it done on purpose or by accident or ignorance?
Could have been done by a disgruntled employee on their last day on
the job....then again why not just send the 2100 eth to your own address,
Bizzare

Nice round number though

Maybe it should have been the other way around, send 2100 with 0.1fees

If thats happen to a company,for sure it is a sabotage from a fired employee or force resigned 😂

But that was a huge amount,why not just send it to random address so it might get straight to one of us wallet and he will receive our gratitude lol

Wow. What a silly mistake. I think he wanted to send that much money but instead put that number in the gas fees. I want to know if that guy is here and if we can know his situation now.

I believe that is just an accident, but still it is really a bad luck for someone who done it. I feel bad to that person, If that were me, perhaps i wouldn't able to sleep for a week, regretting what has happen.

I read about this in the news yesterday and it was really alarming. Although there is alot of speculation going round about it. According to the news, it maybe some kind of glitch the dev should fix or it may be a fraudulent activity. Which ever the case might be , a fix is needed

That is a huge amount of fee and the person who did the transaction must be really fucked up. This could be a developer mistake by not checking the gas fee. I have read in some comments that it's possible to be return by the miner of that block. Thats if the miner wants to take it back otherwise it must have been a huge amount of tip and what lucky miner.
