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

I see only this explanation of this act.Make a mistake in this situation is very difficult,almost impossible.To do this you need to be or under the influence of drugs or be completely drunk.In this situation, to be honest, there are more questions than answers. Let's see if this user may appear on the forum and write what really happened.I'm honestly still in shock.

Yeah right, since it's clearly been seen if ow much the value of ETH he used, there's something wrong or a wild mistake that has
been committed, I'll be more than happy to read if ever that person will show up and admit or explained what happen to that
particular mistake that he committed.

It`s not everything like it looks like. I`m reading some people blogs, they done their homework. This is not the first time,
same happened several times before with same address. It`s some miner probably doing something, there are few scenarios,
nobody is 100% sure what is happening.
I don`t believe that someone paid so much for transaction. It`s very hard to happen to someone who have that much
Ethereums, how he can be so stupid.

The amount is too high to be a mistake, it's not about adding one or two zeros by mistake. The miner theory is plausible, the question is why a miner would do that taking the risk of another miner taking the transaction and those fees.

well, that's a kind of such unworthy transaction lol. He must be wanted to send the 310k worth of eth with 0.1 eth as the fee but they change it due to miss looking.

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

Yeah I saw this yesterday, at first I thought it was just a joke until I saw the wallet. Is it that it was a foolish mistake or the person just has a bad luck? But isn't allowing such a transaction harsh?

Lol, they might be wanted to pay the miners because nowadays miners couldn't get rewards as they expect on this year.

Honestly I didn't even know that it is possible to supply such fuel value to make the transaction ! It was a total mistake of the wallet owner !

Hire Bitcointalk Camp. Manager @ r7promotions.com

I think that user interchanged the fee and sent amount value,which caused a lot for them. Shocked

Pity for that one,when people are in hurry or don't know what they were doing they will get chance of losing huge so people need to have wallet with default fee to avoid these issues.

Oh dear, this is an extremely expensive mistake. To be frank, I don’t really check the transaction fees after setting gwei, but I do check wallet address I am sending ETH which I think is important. After this incident, I will check on transaction fees as well.

i don't think a boss would let his assistant handle a wallet that has more than 2000 eth in it. might be a person who mishandled the transaction due to mistyping by himself. and i dont think he is a newbie considering the amount of eth he had.

I still don't understand why it might happen, Maybe this is an ETH error or some other reason. I have never seen such a strange thing since I joined this market and know ETH

this is simply what happens when people decide to use applications that are not safe and are not reviewed. sometimes it is due to their own messing up with the code where they unknowingly introduce bugs trying to do strange stuff and as a result end up losing a lot of money.

since this has happened more than once, it is definitely a broken wallet/application that is sending these transactions like this because it has a bug.

When you are at the beginning in this area everyone has made a similar mistake, but with very low money figures, making a mistake like that can cost not only the job but the whole career. care must be taken when transferring a sum of money similar to this. The mistake is not of the worker according to us, but of who gave him that job. You can not manage transactions that do not give you the certainty of being able to do them. Huh

2100 eth for the fee is very large and exceeds the number of transfers. but is it reversed or is it true that something really happened, and if it really happened I think it was very, very big for a fee.

Is this for real?
Perhaps the one making that transaction is drunk to make that awful mistakes. I believe he/she is regretting what has he/she done right now. but nothing can be done to take back that fund.

Actually in less than 5 hours a little less than 0.2 eth has been paid with $500k+ worth of eth.

madness.

Unbelievably, I think it is only possible that he deliberately did so, unable to confuse many of these numbers.
