A customer of Bitcoin hardware and service provider Bitmain recently found himself in a “rather embarrassing” predicament. Accidentally having paid a 2.5 bitcoin fee on a transaction mined by Bitmain’s Antpool in Bitcoin block 456363, the user took to social media, desperate to get the funds back. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-miner-repays-customer-who-accidentally-paid-2-5-bitcoins-transaction-fee/ Title: Re: [2017-03-12] Bitcoin Miner Repays Customer Who Accidentally Paid 2.5 Bitcoins Tr Post by: TheAlgorithm on March 12, 2017, 11:45:11 AM It's great that he got his Bitcoin back, but it's still just a PR stunt from Bitmain/AntPool. If this event wasn't going to be in public scrutiny, they wouldn't haven't have done it. BTC2.5 is nothing to them, they have thousands and thousands of it.
