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

This is something that could possibly be the reason for this high payment for a transaction fee.
They want to show ethereum is not a perfect system in their proof of being a smart contract in be able to send value to one another. Wink

But the wallet address is still sending transactions regardless of their error or lack of it being one. Undecided

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

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.

I’m quiet confused since the price of ETH is pumping for a week now not knowing that the trasaction fees are more expensive than what you have. I don’t know if this is true or not but this is really alarming and it can result to other dump for the price of ETH.

It's technically possible for whoever mined the block to return the fees though..

There's a great thread about that one, definitely worth a read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296217.0;all

I remember reading a few years back about a case like this. The whole thing unfolded on Reddit and I'm pretty sure the guy ended up communicating with the pool that mined the block they returned his coins. I can't find the thread now, though.

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

This is what I think the sender did. Was mix up the sending fee field with the amount to send one.

I knew it is possible for bitcoin but wasnt aware it was possible for ethereum on their blockchain.
Is there a way to see which miner or pool received the block reward of this size?

In my other thread I posted about the etc chain sent the miners pool 104etc instead of the 4etc per block reward.

Meh, this thing happens regularly for Bitcoin. Maybe even at least once a year. These people don't practice safety!

That's a lot of money to pay for a transaction. If I were their boss I'd fire him and the ones who trained that guy.

For someone how loses such amount in times when the bulls are coming, it must be one hell of a 10K BTC pizza sob story. Good for the miners though.

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.

That's indeed a nice tip for the miners Cheesy

It's even worse than ordering stuff online for $5 and paying $10 for the delivery Cheesy
