wonder if he is drunk or something

It isn't the first case.

There are some crazy single use wallets around here.

Guy just make donation in a way he can to BTC network. In any case he is real BTC hero - not any one will make such a payment with 2 BTC fee  ;D

Lol. Absolutely awesome

Yeah interesting, there was a guy who fucked up and sent some huge miners fee awhile ago, he was very lucky it went to an honest miner/pool and he manged to get it back.

Can anyone can explain why he do that?
seriously anyone?

 :'( why he do that?

I'd say he either got big amounts of BTC easily and wants to support the miners - a hero,
either (more likely) he tried some script / program and made a mistake and now he's crying.

Maybe this wierd guy doesn't know where to donate.

haha :D When I see posts like this I wish I had a mining company :'(

Most likely by mistake. I bet he is begging for the 2 BTC to come back..

I bet soon we will see here someone crying and asking how to get the transaction fee back.

And complaining that is too hard distinguish between the value and the fee field in whatever wallet he used

It's possible because this is obviously a mistake not generosity.

lol - I predict that most mining companies will eventually go bankrupt.  :)

Someone has made a troll transaction, or this guy inverted the fee and the transaction value lol

lol where you find this guys.

i think that guy/girl wanted to send 2 btc to his/her wallet but mistakenly added as fees lol

That is the funniest thing I've seen all day. Great post made my day  :D  why I wonder?

I remember some time back a guy here made a similar transaction. He was told to contact the pool than included the transaction in their mined block. Don't remember how this ended though, maybe someone that does could link the topic.

wow? what wallets charge 2btc fee? or more like 99% fee ?

None. This is most likely in input mistake.

 ??? How can the fee rise up too much like that ? Isn't it has limitation ?

On certain clients, you decide how much you want to pay for a fee.
You can even pay no fee at all, but this would result in a transaction that would be accepted on a block only weeks later.

Damn, he seems rich though :D

Hhahhaha

This must have been a mistake, just today I was trying to send some btc and electrum kept showing some error(don't remember what exactly) and I checked to see what was wrong and I was trying to enter the amount in comment field. So, it happens, but wallets should have a warning for high fees too, same as they have for low fees.

Creative money laundering comes to mind.  :o

Well first off this isn't 'for laugh'. There are 2 possible scenarios:
1) He made a mistake; He needs help getting his money back.
2) He did it on purpose thus he is a 'Good Guy'.

Here is the topic:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=602152.0

He got refund.

And today somehow I managed to send a no fee transaction by mistake, and it already got 4 confirmations.

Hope I get the other 2 in less than a month

of course it is funny :) and of course he made mistake :) no matter how rich you are, you wont be sending 0.0001 with 2 btc fee, u will prolly give that 2 btc away to someone else

LOL
Thanks for linking the thread, I was curious as to what happened.

somebody is crazy

Hahhaha everyone in here thinking he is some kind of Bitcoin hero and it was actually the worst mistake of his life.

Glad he was able to get it back though  :D

Donating to for-profit miners? Ok.

This isn't funny at all imo, most likely he/she sent the amount as 2 BTC and 0.0001 and made a mistake...  :-\

Okay then if it is funny, you do it too, so that we can laugh even more.

Yeah I remember that post, though I can't find it. The guy did manage to get his coins back after contacting the pool, IIRC.
