Title: Largest fee ever? Post by: nimda on June 19, 2012, 01:40:59 AM I recently saw a .5 BTC fee on a tx covering hundreds of BTC. That got me thinking... what is the largest fee ever paid?

I don't believe it's possible to sort blockexplorer (http://blockexplorer.com) or blockchain.info (http://www.blockchain.info) by fee size. Over 185200 blocks now, how would it even be possible to efficiently find this out? Title: Re: Largest fee ever?

Post by: nimda on June 19, 2012, 02:16:08 AM Hmm... I'm wondering about downloading the blockchain, then writing a program to go through the TX's and look for a fat fee...
Title: Re: Largest fee ever? Post by: bpd on June 19, 2012, 02:18:14 AM Based on http://blockchain.info/charts/transaction-fees it can't be any bigger than 300. That's how I found the 85 BTC fee, by looking at blocks around the 300BTC daily fee spike.
