I do not know if this person didnt know what they did and switch the sending amount with the transaction fee or what happened. But I think their boss will be giving them a talk tomorrow morning on why their customer didnt get the payment they were suposse to. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FgzLYgdd%2FClipboard01.jpg&t=665&c=1FuMouuEsKprmQ) That is 2100 ethereum to the miners. As the comments say "They must be happy! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) " https://etherscan.io/tx/0x1f73b43dc9c48cc131a931fac7095de9e5eba0c5184ec0c5c5f1f32efa2a6bab

That's indeed a nice tip for the miners ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) It's even worse than ordering stuff online for $5 and paying $10 for the delivery ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Omg! this is really so dumb, it's such a huge waste of money because of the lack of attention when sending money. I'm sure his boss will fire him and maybe kill him because of that, but I think there is some ways to recover this lost money, by contacting support maybe, or doing another trick, but this thing is really so stupid and horrible. People should be more careful when sending money, especially when the amount of money is so huge like that, any mistake will cost you so much.

That's a lot of money to pay for a transaction. If I were their boss I'd fire him and the ones who trained that guy.
For someone how loses such amount in times when the bulls are coming, it must be one hell of a 10K BTC pizza sob story. Good for the miners though.

Meh, this thing happens regularly for Bitcoin. Maybe even at least once a year. These people don't practice safety!

Thats gotta hurt, Was it done on purpose or by accident or ignorance? Could have been done by a disgruntled employee on their last day on the job....then again why not just send the 2100 eth to your own address, Bizzare
Nice round number though
Maybe it should have been the other way around, send 2100 with 0.1fees

This is what I think the sender did. Was mix up the sending fee field with the amount to send one. I knew it is possible for bitcoin but wasnt aware it was possible for ethereum on their blockchain. Is there a way to see which miner or pool received the block reward of this size? In my other thread I posted about the etc chain sent the miners pool 104etc instead of the 4etc per block reward.

There's a great thread about that one, definitely worth a read: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=296217.0;allI remember reading a few years back about a case like this. The whole thing unfolded on Reddit and I'm pretty sure the guy ended up communicating with the pool that mined the block they returned his coins. I can't find the thread now, though.

I’m quiet confused since the price of ETH is pumping for a week now not knowing that the trasaction fees are more expensive than what you have. I don’t know if this is true or not but this is really alarming and it can result to other dump for the price of ETH.

Really a terrible mistake Especially if there is no way to recover money The catastrophic error of some people lies in Do not review process data more than once And does not deal with the steps to be taken seriously.

This is something that could possibly be the reason for this high payment for a transaction fee. They want to show ethereum is not a perfect system in their proof of being a smart contract in be able to send value to one another. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) But the wallet address is still sending transactions regardless of their error or lack of it being one. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif)

Yeah, this is an enormous amount of money for just one transaction. I think probably it was a mistake made by someone non-expert... but what a kind of mistake!!!

It was said earlier it happened on the bitcoin blockchain several years ago and the pool who received the botched amount sent as the the transaction fee resent it back to the sending address. So you never know as this recent incident happened just today about 21 hours 21 minutes ago. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

"Four transactions which saw a transfer of roughly $19 or less than 0.15 ETH from a specific Ether wallet address were charged a whopping $454,500 in transaction fees on the Ethereum Network. In the first transaction of the four, the user sent 0.01 Ether ($1.47) and paid a transaction fee of 210 ETH (approximately $30,850). The next two transactions (first, second) saw twice that amount charged for transferring just $2.94 worth of Ether while the most outrageous was the 2100 ETH ($308.553) fee charged for only $14.69 or 0.1 ETH." Yeah the second transaction was with a 210 eth fee just to add to the total amount sent today in this ethereum sending fee error. ![Undecided](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) But was this really just a mistake? I mean, yeah, it maybe could happen once (if you have no clue what you are doing) but at 4 four transactions? That doesn't look like it was an error.

Wow, it looks like a huge amount to give a tip or a fee. Tomorrow he will look at life from another perspective. Or maybe someone made a big profit from somewhere and sent it to the miners as a gift.

The miners that mined that block can return the coins, however if they refuse to do so then there is nothing else to do since this was a mistake of the user, I do not know why this happened, but it is likely that the user made a mistake when he was using his wallet, but this is why it is important to make a small test before sending significant amounts of money to an address you do not control, if he instead made a test with 0.1ETH then the loss could be several times smaller and the damage to his holdings will be minimal but now he will depend on the kindness of others to recover his coins.
