Did you conduct a research to find the answers of those questions?
With a proper research you can find  this information without asking the forum members.
Back in 2013 ,when btc price reached $1200, a guy lost his PC with a wallet containing bitcoins worth 6 million USD.I forgot his name,unfortunately.

He is doing research now, by asking the questions on this forum.  ....James Howells famously lost 7,500 Bitcoins in 2013 when he accidentally

threw out an old hard disk containing his private key. It is reportedly under thousands of tonnes of landfill at a waste recycling centre in

Pillgwenlly, Newport.

This is an interesting topic I'm glad ot is brought up. I hope people find the answers soon. I am interested in the highest tx fee.

I think I would not want to live if I lost 6 million $$ that is just wow. Too much to handle.
You will regret it forever and always look at people in nice cars and know that it could have been you in the latest BMW sports model racing around the track. Now you sit in your old car with nothing but a memory. That's horrible shame I feel so bad for those poor fellows.

Largest Bitcoin wager ______

User 'Nakowa' on Just Dice comes to mind, he was betting up to 50 BTC at a time.

There was also an exploit committed against Primedice in which the user took home quite a large amount of coins, I don't think information regarding wagers and total amount was released.

Longest block ______

I assume you're asking longest time to mine a block? Probably the first block which took a lot of time.

Largest Bitcoin purchase ______

Largest known purchase is a good question, with a probably easy answer: the famous Bitcoin pizzas

Other than that... this property for 2739 BTC was probably the largest.

Longest time a TX stayed unconfirmed ______

I'm not sure there's information regarding this...

Highest TX fee paid ______

Almost 300 BTC fees here... This was probably the biggest, at least in a quick search I can't see anything bigger. It's not clear if this was returned either.


This might end up being a pretty interesting thread, If there's anything wrong on my post anyone feel free to correct it, I'm pretty curious.
