106.31862532 reward from a block ??

[WaRz0r]

Hey all,

What is the go with this block??

106.31862532 reward with ~81btc in transaction fees? Is it just that someone is paying huge fees for their transactions to get processed quicker?

Thanks in advance

Interesting

Not the first time someone made a transaction and screwed up, mistakenly sending a very large transaction fee.

this address has recently made transactions with 80, 1, 50 and 80.98 BTC in fees

I'm speechless... the DOT / COMMA problem is really an issue (like being discussed in another thread)

Since btc guild was the one that solved this perhaps who ever sent it should provide control and proof and maybe get that resolved.

Happened in the past. First confirmed charge back

I think I was the first to get a refund after mistakenly paying a fee of 110 BTC (and it was BTC Guild that refunded me just over 100 BTC).

Most likely it is someone using raw tx API and has either made a silly typo or not understood correctly what they are doing (i.e. that all UTXO BTC that is not *sent* to an output address is the tx fee).

What might help reduce these problems would be for bitcoin to spit out some kind of excessive fee warning (such as 10x the calculated minimum fee required).

It's actually 1CfsAiYaVfk12dnZpZALcRSP9jjWDk26FX  that is the really big problem.  This address has been paying multiple massive tx fees all day.

Unfortunately, unlike in the past, BTC Guild really can't do much anymore.  Over 90% of the pool is on the PPLNS system, meaning transaction fees are no longer sitting in the pool funds like they used to be back when the pool was all/mostly PPS.  We've refunded hundreds of BTC in mistaken tx fees in the past, but it's not an option when the fees are being distributed to the miners.

Your efforts are appreciated.

I made a post in the main forum about it after the 106 BTC block hit, but there's not a whole lot that can be done to contact them.  At this point it looks deliberate (you don't make the same mistake that many times without noticing the money going missing).

More likely it is an unmonitored program with a bug in it.  Eventually the operator will notice the significant loss of funds, but because of the possibility of a Ponzi/Pyramid effect, it could take a while before it becomes a big enough problem for them to notice.

It appears possibly to be a "mixing service".
