PLEASE HELP.. I sent a transaction with a 2.5 BTC transaction fee

[Calydon]

Sorry to say that bro but you practically lost that much BTC .

Ha ha. Read the thread...

[xhomerx10]

Having no contact with OP I can only assume he is happy that we, through the kindness and understanding of the good people at AntMiner (Bitmain), were able to fix his mistake.

that's unbelievable. good thing it worked out for you. However; i am really curious to know how all this situation happened at first place.

Don't you try to read the whole of the post before making a post? Bitmain has paid him with his own pocket and he gets his money back.

Come back OP! We want to hear about how happy you are to get your massive mistake of a fee sent back to you!

[ImHash]

This is just a happy coincident or what now really? that a newbie sends out a transaction with such a high fee and with the miracle timing the all moral and honest antpool mining the block with that TX and even pays from pocket just to come out of all this as a hero.

It is impossible to modify a transaction after it has been broadcast to the network.

 Wow.  You're pretty cynical about this but let me assure you that this event doesn't qualify as coincidence since all of the conditions certainly have a causal connection.  If you mean the event was contrived, that's another thing entirely but you can rest assured it was not.

I am pretty sure. This is an act by ANTPOOL itself lol.
The OP only posted once and even after getting his money back didn't cared to say thanks to Antpool? I bet this is all done by antpool itself to show how good hearted they are 

[User365]

Ok first of all I am not associated with antpool or bitmain, for anyone who doesnt believe me pls inspect all my posts

I doubt this whole action was done by antpool or bitmain because IF they would want to do something like this, they would:
1) Use a better account, not a newbie
2) Made the account respond in public with "oh my you are my lord and savior antpoolguys", if someone gifts you 2,5k$ back you say thank you, I assume our Original poster responded in private.

 It was the ticket I opened pleading OPs case which was answered by Bitmain and it was that response that I posted here in the forum.  Were it not for that post from me,  I doubt you would have known about the socially responsible nature of Antpool/Bitmain.
I have no connection with Bitmain or Antpool; I simply went to their website and opened a ticket on behalf of the OP.

 Stop assuming the worst as your thoughts shape your physical reality, my cynical friend.

I am referred here by this topic: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1831754.new#new
Did he get his BTC back?
as far as I can see he didn't reply here after making the thread.

[veleten]

this is simply amazing,kudos to bitmain!
they proven to be a company with great integrity and honesty,they didn't have to return the fee but chose to do so
to keep their reputation untarnished
OP haven't showed up yet and I think he owes at least thank you to xhomerx10 who made an effort and opened this ticket and wrote to Bitmain
well done! very glad this has been resolved,it keeps ones faith in humanity

I've just come across this thread, did you get the OP to sign a message via that wallet address proving they are the "rightful owner" of those funds? (too late now anyways)

 Honestly, that thought never crossed my mind but I don't understand what the point would have been in doing so.

[divinemaniac]

It is surely nice to see that Bitmain cared enough to pay OP from their pocket.
Seriously, I thought that he had lost his bitcoin but it was such a relief to see his bitcoin returned.

and for people saying that this was "put together", just look at the circumstances, it doesn't look like so.

[aziernest]

I am interested in knowing how this mistake happened.
Bitmaintech have reimbursed op from their own pocket this time, but I am sure they will not follow the same practice again and again, and it varies from case to case.

[icanscript]

This is very generous on BITMAINs behalf considering they have no liability to repay. Great result and even more trust for them. Its nice to see around here actually.

Maybe next to scam accusations we should have an "Acts of Kindness" board just to remind everyone what Bitcoin is really about

That is a great idea actually.
this could really help a lot of new comers to bitcoin feel warm and at home and also assure them that they are in a good community

It is quite obvious antpool won't give anything on thier own as they already distributed the reward to miners.It is clear it's the setup by antpool to praise themselves
Stop arguing and start doing something productive,as your work will determine your future,my arrogant friend.
