Be careful with your blockchain transactions

[Apes]

it's very sad to see this transactions caused by users. It is not a small amount, I think users can still cancel the transaction shortly before all transactions are confirmed by the blockchain. but indeed this is the risk of transacting in blockchain. because it is independent we cannot reverse transactions. so before making a transaction it is better to check and make sure before submitting.

This was a hot news, but it seems to be so much regret full because that happen. What i can't think is that, how could that really happen? doesn't he/she don't check the amount of fee being set before sending the transaction?

It's not unfair to that person, since that person must have chosen such big gas price. There was similar case with coinomi around a year ago, user got refunded, let's see what happens here.

That's why it's very important to double check your transaction especially if you are going to transact with big amount because one mistake could lead you to a big loss. Whenever i send my transaction i even triple check just to make sure i put the right information. If ever that thing happens to me i will have a very bad day.

This is a valuable experience for the future to be better. Mistakes made certainly make regrets because the amount of money is not small. We must be more careful in every transaction and always check.

It was not a mistake, most likely it is some kind of laundering crypto. Such large fee cannot be set by standard wallet.

I cant believe that this person sent 0.1 Ether with 2,100 Ether transaction fee. I am pretty sure that this person is crying out right now and just shaking his / her head repeatedly. What will you do if this happens to you? How will you comfort your self at a time like this? 2,100 Ethereum for transaction fee really is a big amount and unfair on that person but a mistake was already made. I hope that he can contact the miner who processed that transaction for reimbursement which is I think possible. Look on the reference below.

I dont even know how this routine took place. I'm using imtoken app to transact my tokens but never ask me for a huge fee. I think he made a mistake on his own or the 3rd party platform he use made a huge trick and he doesn't notice it. If youre in youre right mind would you do that? Im pretty sure there's a reason for this. I really hope the guy made this transaction okay. Cause if it other people maybe they are attempting to commit suicide now.

It could be not a mistake of human, but the mistake of a smart contract

Here, recently there was a similar case: https://www.coindesk.com/sparkpool-splits-2100-ether-mining-fee-with-accidental-sender
But here the pool went to meet the sender and returned half the amount paid in error.

The first time I found out this I was very surprised how could someone make a mistake like this, but from what I saw a lot of weirdness, I thought because I did not understand clearly about transactions like this, the sender himself had more ethereum than the fee.

  I would not know what to do if I made such a mistake. In general, quite a strange situation, the first time I see this.

I don't know what will i do if like that situation happen to me.. but i know for sure its not a mistake.. someone having that number of ethereum is not a newbie in the crypto market he knows what he is doing
