I was messing around with raw transactions (I really should know better). And I accidentally spent the wrong output from a transaction. I meant to spend this 18.142235 BTC output, paying a 0.0001 BTC fee and creating a new 18.142135 BTC output and therefore not needing to create a "change" output, but I accidentally spent this 21.93056958 BTC output from the same transaction. As such, I accidentally paid a miners fee of 3.78843458 BTC when I meant to pay 0.0001. I think there's going to be a very happy miner out there somewhere.    |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

Your feedback is requested at this pull request, also at this one. You might want to see if you can get a refund from GHash.io. |

Feedback left. You might want to see if you can get a refund from GHash.io.
Sent the following email to webmaster@ghash.io: It appears that GHash.io mined my transaction, hash=43131ce5d3044b140bfaaacacb6c6ca666c0dad1fe37c75da668984d78997b7e, at blockHeight=258251. I created this transaction with bitcoind using the createrawtransaction, signrawtransaction, and sendrawtransaction API calls, and I accidentally included the wrong vout in the input. As a result I accidentally paid a fee of 3.78843458 BTC when I inteded to pay a fee of 0.0001 BTC. If GHash.io is able to return to me any of this significant accidental overpayment of the fee, it would be greatly appreciated. Further discussion of the incident can be found at bitcointalk.org here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=295101.0I can provide any desired proof of ownership of the bitcoin address associated with the input to the transaction (1KXcNWyktC5fV3HvYEG9ZQrTTdWNntbg9j). If you are able to refund any of the fee overpayment at all, it would be sufficient to send the refunded amount back to that address. Note: A public record of this email will be included at bitcointalk.org in the discussion thread indicated above. Sincerely, Danny Hamilton |

GHash.io is an honest, reliable, and trustworthy participant in the bitcoin community. I just received the following email from webmaster@ghash.io: I replied with the following: Thank you so very much! I will update my bitcointalk thread regarding the issue immediately. It is good to know that there are honest, trustworthy, and reliable people involved in bitcoin. It appears that you refunded the ENTIRE fee. I certainly intended to pay a fair fee. Please provide a bitcoin address, and I'll send 0.1 BTC to compensate you for the inconvenience and to thank you for your generosity.
I've updated the thread title to indicate the resolution. |

They actually paid it back, that's pretty great. They seem like very nice people.

Explain please how a scammer is going to pay an excessively large fee, and how they are going to benefit from having it refunded to them? |

Wow. Nice to see that they are honest. Since btc transactions are irreversible, they could just go away with it Anyway, I never heard about the website before, but I might take a look. Seems like advertising lol |

Explain please how a scammer is going to pay an excessively large fee, and how they are going to benefit from having it refunded to them? I think he meant scammers who try to get a refund for transaction fee from ghash.io |

I think he meant scammers who try to get a refund for transaction fee from ghash.io So the scammer is going to pay a normal size 0.0001 BTC fee? And then they are going to request that it be refunded to them? Seems like an awful lot of effort to scam for the equivalent of less than $0.02 |

UGH great, I made a similar mistake to you, doing raw transactions. Contacted GHash.io immediately, but I hope it isn't too late TXID in my case is e136d18149f1833fafe93d96a10e6a02bd898f789a8b35ed0007789c87e594e4. EDIT: After contacting support, GHash.IO paid me my fee back. TXID is b4fe7f820d22f328e56382aca73cd5ad279a5e1a2998537eccef7f9f216e0044. |
