Topic: Somebody paid $310,000 in transaction fee to send 0.1eth - page 7. (Read 978 times)
This is a system error why fees are opened infinitely
I don't know how is possible to make $300K worth mistake.
Could be some other reason behind this? Whoever sent this with huge fee didn't send it first time to forget to check fees.
Ex girlfriend?

A cute idea for money laundering. Miner runs modified software (doesn't transmit transaction to others, keeps it private) and money goes from one account to a "miner" - who "accidentally" makes huge profit.
I feel sorry for this man. I think that he has not quite understood everything can be a Beginner who does not understand the cryptocurrency, he earned a lot of money in the bounty and did not know how to use it and now decided to draw conclusions and there was this misunderstanding.
I can only say, wow. How did it happen. We know that etherum networks often experience congestion, because transactions overlap. Is this a mistake from the sender, or the sender intentionally did this, or is it wrong on the eth network?
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.
This isnt a mistake, He's been doing on purpose. 0xc3e6f47ffa1b1e0bf926d5727e1adedac595d24cc4fa9b2f271d35566fdaf8d6 has payed 840 eth in fees 0x464e50e8ade15ad883f80fd173f6afd85efdf15413892625fe0146fbe5fecd92 has payed 420eth in fees. THey have been doing this for a while and dont have much left. There are couple of other accounts related too which have been doing similar things. sending 3$ worth ETH and putting fees as 61000$.
It has to be intentional, they did it 4 times! Maybe they are tipping the miners or being charitable. The only other explaintion to me would be some faulty UX that displays properly, but communicates with the blockchain in the wrong way.
I wonder for what reason this error occurred. I do not understand how this could have happened by chance. For the first time I hear about such mistakes.
Oh no... All that hard earned money. Just hope the owner is rich enough and can survive this sort of lose. Seriously, this is not cool at all... Is it even possible to get back refunds or at least part of the eth sent as transaction fee?
A friend was telling me about this today, but I didn't believe, not until I saw the transaction hash. In was amazed at what happened. That was a grave carelessness in my opinion.
For every transaction I make, before confirming, just as the network would always prompt, I do ensure that all the info I imputed are correct.
This is cryptocurrency, we just need to be careful, because such transaction cannot be reversed.
Yes. Nobody would really believe it without the proof the etherchain shows the transaction was completed with these fees attached to it.For every transaction I make, before confirming, just as the network would always prompt, I do ensure that all the info I imputed are correct.

It is quite insane really how some people can be so careless when they are sending a transaction.
It will cost them alot with just a quick check before hitting the send button.
That's a huge amount some error may happen sometimes I experience it on metamask the gas price is set automatically at millions so you need to pay attention but if it is a business wallet and it is a software error somebody is getting fired or work without pay lol. Miners are lucky
Some miner won the lotto! Remember there are over 100 million ETH out there so this may be pocket change to some early adopter who wants to run some tests.
2100 Ether thats a huge amount, that could have been vitalik that gave that tip to the miners....
if not it could be used for a massive anti ethereum propaganda campaign soon

Yeah, this is an enormous amount of money for just one transaction. I think probably it was a mistake made by someone non-expert... but what a kind of mistake!!!
Hope this was not mistake and it is just a experiment by developers. Few months ago i also paid more than 10$ as a fee for single transaction. Omg! this is really so dumb, it's such a huge waste of money because of the lack of attention when sending money. I'm sure his boss will fire him and maybe kill him because of that, but I think there is some ways to recover this lost money, by contacting support maybe, or doing another trick, but this thing is really so stupid and horrible. People should be more careful when sending money, especially when the amount of money is so huge like that, any mistake will cost you so much.
The miners that mined that block can return the coins, however if they refuse to do so then there is nothing else to do since this was a mistake of the user, I do not know why this happened, but it is likely that the user made a mistake when he was using his wallet, but this is why it is important to make a small test before sending significant amounts of money to an address you do not control, if he instead made a test with 0.1ETH then the loss could be several times smaller and the damage to his holdings will be minimal but now he will depend on the kindness of others to recover his coins. 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.

Wow, it looks like a huge amount to give a tip or a fee. Tomorrow he will look at life from another perspective. Or maybe someone made a big profit from somewhere and sent it to the miners as a gift. That is 2100 ethereum to the miners. As the comments say "They must be happy!

Actually, this is just the highest fee of a total of 4 transactions from the same wallet. Grand total: 3,150 ETH transaction fees for ~ 0.15 ETH.
https://cryptopotato.com/developers-mistake-someone-just-paid-450k-3150-eth-for-ethereum-transaction-fees/
"Four transactions which saw a transfer of roughly $19 or less than 0.15 ETH from a specific Ether wallet address were charged a whopping $454,500 in transaction fees on the Ethereum Network.https://cryptopotato.com/developers-mistake-someone-just-paid-450k-3150-eth-for-ethereum-transaction-fees/
In the first transaction of the four, the user sent 0.01 Ether ($1.47) and paid a transaction fee of 210 ETH (approximately $30,850).
The next two transactions (first, second) saw twice that amount charged for transferring just $2.94 worth of Ether while the most outrageous was the 2100 ETH ($308.553) fee charged for only $14.69 or 0.1 ETH."
Yeah the second transaction was with a 210 eth fee just to add to the total amount sent today in this ethereum sending fee error.
But was this really just a mistake? I mean, yeah, it maybe could happen once (if you have no clue what you are doing) but at 4 four transactions? That doesn't look like it was an error.
$310,000 boy just for that transaction fee.
I wouldn't know what I can do to myself if I commit that myself. I hope that good will shall come and the amount will be sent back.
It was said earlier it happened on the bitcoin blockchain several years ago and the pool who received the botched amount sent as the the transaction fee resent it back to the sending address.I wouldn't know what I can do to myself if I commit that myself. I hope that good will shall come and the amount will be sent back.
So you never know as this recent incident happened just today about 21 hours 21 minutes ago.
