15btc transaction fee, big mistake

[Amadues]

Also other people reported issues for tx fees (with wallet that they don't know use as good as they need to know...)...
But this is one of the most big tx fees I have never see or ear!

[jonathgb25]

Probably a human error. He must seem to filled the form in a wrong way that he did not notice that the fee he will send have that such big amount. Miners are lucky for that fee. It seems they celebrating for this mistake.

From 22 BTC transfer 15 BTC fee - I think he made the mistake.  Happy BTC miners. 

[imbest]

OMG! 15 btc fee! I wish I could have this money which was a transaction fee only! Never see such a big amount for fee only

[Sengoko]

Huge mistake, people should be careful when conducting transactions worth thousands of dollars like in this case...

isn't there a slider bar on Core to set the fee/byte of a TX

what happens when you set it to the max?

[TippingPoint]

☑ evidence that it is better to accept the default fee amount

Never set it to the max but it won't result in 15 BTC.

This was either a mistake or money laundering.

I also wonder how Bitcoin ever will be useful for old people. When they now a day can't remember there pin.

From what I know, this is the biggest one in the recent years. Someone might have thought of it as fun to do something silly like this in the early days though

It adapts to the network. It is not a fixed fee/kb

You as legendary member must know that all depends on how long the coins are sitting in your wallet and the amount of inputs etc. Some times it tells you to pay more than 0.002 if you set the slider bar to the max, and some times it's under 0.001.

Yes when they see such a huge transaction fee, really they'll try to get out of it. But here the miner who did the transaction is the luckiest person to earn such a huge amount through bitcoin.

[numanoid]

Holyshit!

Really? I'd die if that ever happened to me... what kind of error could cause that insane fee?

[RealPhotoshoper]

so far i never found transaction fee like that,15BTC fee for 22BTC transaction is not make sense,and i cannot find logic and official explaining about this mistake,did someone know how can this happen?

[redsn0w]
