Somebody paid $310,000 in transaction fee to send 0.1eth

[PuertoLibre]

2100  Ether thats a huge amount, that could have been vitalik that gave that tip to the miners....

if not it could be used for a massive anti ethereum propaganda campaign soon

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!!!

Yeah, fat finger everywhere and i am sure boss will be angry tomorrow about 310k$ payment Hope this was not mistake and it is just a experiment  by developers. Few months ago i also paid more than 10$ as a fee for single transaction.

[fenican]

Some miner won the lotto! Remember there are over 100 million ETH out there so this may be pocket change to some early adopter who wants to run some tests.

[LbtalkL]

That's a huge amount some error may happen sometimes I experience it on metamask the gas price is set automatically at millions so you need to pay attention but if it is a business wallet and it is a software error somebody is getting fired or work without pay lol. Miners are lucky

A friend was telling me about this today, but I didn't believe, not until I saw the transaction hash. In was amazed at what happened. That was a grave carelessness in my opinion.
For every transaction I make, before confirming, just as the network would always prompt, I do ensure that all the info I imputed are correct.
This is cryptocurrency, we just need to be careful, because such transaction cannot be reversed.

Yes. Nobody would really believe it without the proof the etherchain shows the transaction was completed with these fees attached to it.
It is quite insane really how some people can be so careless when they are sending a transaction.
It will cost them alot with just a quick check before hitting the send button.

[Cryptotina]

Oh no... All that hard earned money. Just hope the owner is rich enough and can survive this sort of lose. Seriously, this is not cool at all... Is it even possible to get back refunds or at least part of the eth sent as transaction fee?

[vgk88]

I wonder for what reason this error occurred. I do not understand how this could have happened by chance. For the first time I hear about such mistakes.

[HippiePyro]

It has to be intentional, they did it 4 times! Maybe they are tipping the miners or being charitable. The only other explaintion to me would be some faulty UX that displays properly, but communicates with the blockchain in the wrong way.

[vennali]

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.

That is 2100 ethereum to the miners. As the comments say "They must be happy! "

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 isnt a mistake, He's been doing on purpose. 0xc3e6f47ffa1b1e0bf926d5727e1adedac595d24cc4fa9b2f271d35566fdaf8d6 has payed 840 eth in fees 0x464e50e8ade15ad883f80fd173f6afd85efdf15413892625fe0146fbe5fecd92 has payed 420eth in fees. THey have been doing this for a while and dont have much left. There are couple of other accounts related too which have been doing similar things. sending 3$ worth ETH and putting fees as 61000$.

[gidaahmad]

I can only say, wow. How did it happen. We know that etherum networks often experience congestion, because transactions overlap. Is this a mistake from the sender, or the sender intentionally did this, or is it wrong on the eth network?

[Luvr1000]

I feel sorry for this man. I think that he has not quite understood everything can be a Beginner who does not understand the cryptocurrency, he earned a lot of money in the bounty and did not know how to use it and now decided to draw conclusions and there was this misunderstanding.

[prasad87]

A cute idea for money laundering. Miner runs modified software (doesn't transmit transaction to others, keeps it private) and money goes from one account to a "miner" - who "accidentally" makes huge profit.

[spngebob]

I don't know how is possible to make $300K worth mistake.
Could be some other reason behind this? Whoever sent this with huge fee didn't send it first time to forget to check fees.
Ex girlfriend?  

[bararawe777]

This is a system error why fees are opened infinitely

[raditerko]

I wonder if there is a full story about it
how did that happen? a tired worker didn`t notice the fee amount? or ir is some miner charity action?

[nreal]

Unbelievably, I think it is only possible that he deliberately did so, unable to confuse many of these numbers.

[jamyr]

Actually in less than 5 hours a little less than 0.2 eth has been paid with $500k+ worth of eth.

madness.

I still don't understand why it might happen, Maybe this is an ETH error or some other reason. I have never seen such a strange thing since I joined this market and know ETH

Is this for real?
Perhaps the one making that transaction is drunk to make that awful mistakes. I believe he/she is regretting what has he/she done  right now. but nothing can be done to take back that fund.

[seramania]

2100 eth for the fee is very large and exceeds the number of transfers. but is it reversed or is it true that something really happened, and if it really happened I think it was very, very big for a fee.

[Commitments]

When I got payment with higher amount, more than last year I am only getting lower payment not only from ICO investment but also almost at bounty campaign I am still getting little payment, hope one day later I got higher amount for reward at bounty campaign.
