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

[debby070]

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! "

I think he is having a good time with his ethereum, he is helping the community to gain support by just doing that kind of thing which allot of us find not appropriate. I do really hope he just paid me rather pay a transaction fee that big.

This transact need to be investigated because it is highly abnormal. If it is from the sender then this is the mistake of the year. The miner of this transact will smile all day. I made mistake that cost me almost 1.2ether, that day i was angry with myself how much more of this. 

[dearbesz1219]

What the hell. Is that possible? What Ethereum wallet allows to do that? When you use Myetherwallet you can only set the gas limit, there is no chance to make such mistake.

[chipzeru]

Damn, that's such a big amount of eth. In my opinion, the sender was mistakenly put gas that worth 0.1 eth in amount of eth to send box and 2100 eth that supposed to be the real amount of eth to send in gas box. At least this case makes me to be more aware before sending my ether.

[Clark05]

Oh that is very huge amount of money and I think that people will really sad because they did not big mistake in his/her in life.
We don't know what is the purposes of the sending the ethereum but for sure now they are are really sad and they did not know what he can do. But they will get back again his /her money because once the transaction fee set you don't have way to get back. So better soon always check the transaction fee you make.

[fuer44]

how could that person pay a fee of 2100 etherum when he only sent 0.1? there must be something wrong with the ongoing transaction.

[dhiraj0977]

Miners have a great party whole doing on this transaction, but really did not understand how it was happened, any error with gas price setting might be, really paid heavy price for just a small 0.1 transfer of ether.  

[Vit83]

This called as I remember correct mistake of fat fingers. When someone just clicked the wrong button. Interesting is this address of some ICO?

[Suwycu]

Inattention cost someone a lot of money, which is why you need to check several times before making such transactions!

[Papcio77]

Holy Cow. It is always good to check before you clicked probably the guy who made this freaking mistake are now attempting suicide or if not probably loss the will to live.

I think eth network should have a solution for this kind of situation/ or restrict some gas fee to maximum gas payment that depends on speed that can be deducted from the transaction fee. Obviously it is not due to network congestion but to a clumsy hand and we cant avoid having people like this. Vitalik must do a solution here.

Miners are probably partying now for this.

I agree with you mate!

I think the eth network should be checking and investigating this kind of turf and must make a help by implementing a safe gas consumption.

310k$ is a huge amount the person should probably made a terrible mistake. Cant the miners refund this? Fot God sake people should watch stuff before clicking or you might end up like this.

[ryan992]

Oh wow, its my first time to see it. its waste of money just for fee transaction, $310,000 for 0.1eth. Wow just WOW. Speechless -_-

[shirackjs]

Oh dear, this is such a costly mistake, I believe this guy should be feeling miserable to lose so much money for a mistake. Although it is USD 300,000 atm, but it is going to worth millions if Bull Run start and ETH go back to the previous ATH.

[bartolo]

The amount of 2100 ethereum had been traced to the pool it was sent to.
Spark pool stated they will send it back to the one who comes forward to claim it.
Which I doubt they will track this individual down so they would need to contact them.
If it isnt claimed in an allotted amount of time they will just distribute it among the miners who helped the day the block was mined.

They don't need to wait until anyone claims those ETH, they can simply send them to the same address from which they were sent, they don't need to do anything else.

If that image is not edited then that must be the worst thing that happened to that person. It's the first time seeing this and it's rediculous that this happen without checking how much he pay for 0.1eth.

[sestan]

I doubt that miners will show leniency and return the coins. Yes, if this is a mistake, it has cost someone dearly. Be careful when sending transactions. Although, I think this does not threaten us.

[yrrehc16]

I am wondering now how the sender feels this time.
This is not a small thing to be called a wrong one. this is a total mess for the owner.
If i am the boss i will not just fire this one, I will let him work for it.

I was also surprised when I saw this, but I think it was intentional
IF you tracked the wallet address, similar approach was done 3 times consecutively

The question is why ??

[yobo2020]

This is unbelievable, was the the person sleeping when he was making the transaction? I think there is something behibde the transaction.

[UnDerDoG81]

If this is a mistake, I do not understand why he can see the transaction fee of 2100 ETH. Because when transferring ETH for gas and gas limit, it is necessary to adjust both parameters correctly so that the fee can be 2100 ETH

[wenwen]

That's funny. And someone has left my life) Is a serious error and people not physically able to give the same amount. This is unfortunate. Just imagine what was going on in the soul of the sender after he saw his deal...I even myself felt bad after I realized what he did) Be careful.
