Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

So who is the miner so lucky? Will they return the bitcoin to the send? I remember in a previous occasion, the bitcoin was returned.

So there are a bunch of deposits to that Bitcoin address starting from today totaling 291.241 BTC and then suddenly the last transaction is for 0.001 and 291.2409 in fees. Can somebody explain what is happening here because I am speechless. Was it human error or a deliberate transaction? I can't figure out what the reason behind that may be  Huh

Ooh a really fat fee! Whoever managed to was the miner who mined that, kindly return the 250 btc to the address indicated in my profile. The rest you may keep for your honesty lel. Grin

Things like this do happen in the bitcoin ecosystem every now and then. Some are lucky to have theirs returned and others aren't.

#1 human error (unlikely)
#2 some script messed up
#3 just a miner having fun fusing inputs

1 is still possible. Drunk dude sent it? Who knows?
2 is somewhat probable, considering that most automated payments are run via scripts.
3 is, uhmm. Who would do that, really?

#3 is fine as long as you dont broadcast the TX to anyone else.

Just to be clear here, this is very risky even if you just send the TX to a single miner.

Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Sure it was a FAST tx Cheesy for the happiness of miner Smiley
But probably it would give back such amount...

Why a miner should having such type of fun Cheesy ? (And how he can be sure to get back from fees this bitcoin?

That's an insane mistake there. There's no chance that user would get the fee back, as pool users would never agree on such things.
Can't even imagine what i would do if it happened to me. This is one of faults of bitcoin imho..

Oh man. I hope the guy wasn't just sleepy and thought that was the transfer amount, not the fee. I'd feel pretty terrible for that guy. I wonder what the story is.

Wallets should have many failsafes to keep this from happening.

Agreed. Manually adjusting fees should be on a separate screen from entering the transaction amount, with a confirm dialogue. Anything over a certain amount (such as 0.01 BTC) should receive multiple "Are you SURE???" warnings. Frankly, if I was authoring a wallet I'd simply disallow manual entry of fees that were above some level (such as 0.1 or 1.0 BTC) to prevent such a disaster. If someone actually had a need to send something with a huge fee let them seek out a special wallet/tool to do it, the rest of us should be immune to such catastrophic errors.

I can't view twitter. Does this mean the sender has identified themselves? Or is someone just asking them pre-emptively to refund the TX on the presumption (probably a safe one) that it's an error?

You can't really force anyone into returning that balance just because it was sent as an error. While it would be a "good act" now , it would also
set spresedant for future mistakes which could be abused , and that are really against the bitcoin principle when you think about it.

Like someone suggested, wallets and all btc software should have protection against such mistakes - that seams like a natural evolution to solve the problem.
