Sweet mother of Jesus that is a lot of bitcorns, wish I had so many Smiley
That maybe a lot of Bitcoins now, but at 2010 that number of bitcoins is just a mere peanuts Wink
That transactions is probably coming from early adopters of Bitcoins, i think that dude who received btc is enjoying his mansion along with new Lambo Roll Eyes

shouldn't be the one of gox, were the 660k coins cannot be retrieved? if they are still in the own of the ceo, that was arrested, he probably moved it before he was arrested

One of the biggest transactions was 194,993 Bitcoin. You can find that here. The anonymous owner sent this amount of Bitcoin to many different addresses. This transaction left the whole Bitcoin community buzzing as this amount represented 1.6% of all Bitcoins in circulation.

Well, no matter how much you pay you won't get it confirmed before the next block. This was probably a mistake on the sender side and created a transaction without including the change and thus the remaining would be used as fee. Several pools refunded the user but distributed pools have no power over this.

 Cheesy Looks like one person who split some of his/her $60m into portions of around $500k with still a pretty large balance left to go.

See the fee was a mere $0.16 for sending the $60m. Now try and do that at a bank.

haha, you got it! Tongue only with all those types of examples people can start to realize why bitcoin is so good for everybody, well maybe not for everybody, banks  will disagree with lot of things... Tongue

155,841, if now is a big quantity, w8 few years and we will  see the trully value of that transaction Wink

You cannot compare the amount of coins send in 2009 with the same amounts send in say 2014. The value of the same coins would have been totally different at the time. Gavin's faucet paid out 5 bitcoin per hour back then. A faucet paying 5 bitcoin per hour these days would bankrupt the owner within the first hour.

I would rather want someone to compare apples with apples and find the highest valued Bitcoin transaction, not the biggest amount of coins.  Roll Eyes

If you're talking about the largest transaction in volume,

There is a link in blockchain which shows top largest transactions.

They show the top recent transactions.

AFAIK, the largest was https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/tx/29a3efd3ef04f9153d47a990bd7b048a4b2d213daaa5fb8ed670fb85f13bdbcf

Most big transaction has high priority already so it doesn't matter if you use a fee or not.

That's what I like about bitcoin. You can send very large amounts of BTC with very low transaction fees.

I think he means the largest as the most bitcoins ever sent in one transaction. Would be interesting to know.

No I dont escrow anymore.

AFAIK they used a trick to fit more TX into the block than otherwise possible at the risk of exposing the private key. It was not a problem because the private key is public knowledge anyway.

What is the biggest bitcoin transaction ever performed so far? And what was its transaction fee?

(cf. the related Bitcoin StackExchange question)
