0.2 FEE!!!! ? am i missing something?

[dadaas]

^ thank you. Does block chain have the resources to reimburse me.

As far as I know… this is not my fault and 110% block chain fault.

Tell me again how this is Blockchain.infos fault?

You did confuse the "amount" field with the "fee" field and then CONFIRMED the popup.

so?....

If i fucked up, and no one helps my oopsie… it makes everything bitcoin look bad. A giant ugly mole on its face that keeps growing.

Lol! I stopped reading right there! If you aren't smart enough to be using Bitcoin to buy your drugs online, then please stop! Blaming Bitcoin, or Blockchain for your fuck up is the stupidest thing I have ever heard! YOU are the one who typed in a box that you shouldn't even have been in! Suck it up and move on and learn from your mistakes!

You should have read whole thread. He already apologized for his behaviour and is realising that it was his mistake and he is aware that people here are trying to help him

[...] Bitfury will probably return him his 0.2 BTC and he will learn a lesson.

Only if they mined that block. It was not confirmed that they did. Only hearsay and somebody "thinking" this was their address.

That's fact by default

So what is the recommended transaction fee to input manually to guarantee this does not happen? This is making me scared to make transactions now.

Most wallets will calculate the proper fee for you.  What wallet are you using that you have to enter it manually?

The OP probably either had a setting wrong on QT or made a typo when creating a custom transaction on blockchain.info. I have accidentally paid .001 instead of an .0001 fee a couple of times using custom send :/

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry for some of the dickish comments directed towards you here.
I can empathize with how frustrated you must be feeling. But, there are a few things you need to be aware here:

(i) No one will compensate your loss
(ii) There is no one you can 'report' this to

With that said, some have advised you to get in touch with Bitfury (which you have), because of a vague comment about the miner's address made by a member seven weeks ago.
However, I am not fully convinced the miner is associated with Bitfury.

I would suggest that you also write to Ghash, because the address was associated with the company at one time. Perhaps they can be of further assistance.

Good luck.

This is true.

I would highly doubt that anyone would want to give you donations for making this kind of mistake. I think you should consider this to be "tuition" for the "school of bitcoin"

Can you guys please help me locate who mined that block. I fucked up… probably… I definitely learned a lesson here. Its by far one of the cheapest lessons i have learned in my life. try losing a half million $. I am still trying to withdraw about .5 btc from BTC-e but can't get a response from anyone there, again any assistance would be nice in helping to contact these people.

If I am able to get this btc back, bitcoin being in Beta, this would be pretty cool to see how effective of a financial system Bitcoin may perhaps become one day.

0.0002 here

0.0001 gets me very high priority on most of my transactions. If they were higher value Tx, I would include more of a fee.

I use BC.I quite a bit and have not had the OP's problem. However, I read a similar thread several months ago that described a similar issue. I have paid VERY close attention since then.

This was likely OP error all the way. If the OP can track the miner down, I'm certain he will get a refund. We bitcoiners are like that.

A few years ago I lost over 10000 BTC to a scammer.  If anyone would like to send a few hundred my way I would really appreciate it.  If only 100 people each send me 100 BTC it would be made whole.  Thanks!

Edit: that may be asking for too much, how about 1000 people each send me 10 BTC...

Crowd funding is typically funds to kickstart a project. What you're doing is begging. WTF have you done for the community, and what projects have you contributed in? I'm quite baffled by this sense of entitlement.

This place is like india… I'm at the end of the line, time to take what i can and cut my losses.. oh ya..

Cut your losses, at the expenses of others, when it was YOUR fault. Wow you selfish fuck. I hope you don't recover your 0.2 btc.

If anyone is thinking about donating, please direct your funds to Sean's Outpost instead, where these people are actually in need for basic necessities, and something that they didn't cause to themselves.

Hey OP, if it makes you feel any better, I filled in your address instead of mine at DrawBTC today for a chance to win 6,000 satoshis. Unfortunately, I didn't win.

Actually, he directed "dickish" comments towards anyone else, formerly.

And he also apologized, and explained himself.
Also, please do not edit my post when quoting me.

Of course I will edit the post, in order to show exactly what I'm answering to, and removing unnecessary parts.

I'm sure that tomorrow we will face the so-called "zero fee". To the Moon!

Just so you guys can see where this mistake was made....   I just think the layout is wrong..

Why take a new line for miners fee but put the amount to send (the most important bit imo) over on the right like that.

Especially if someone doesn't speak English and they are guessing the fields. Often we use Chinese exchange where we can't read anything but we just guess what the fields are when we are using it.

[zahra4571]

Anyone know what is the biggest fee so far sent to miners?
Blockchain should add a fixed fee according to amount you want to send.
 

[Stery]

Yes exactly you already gave your answer.

You have set the transaction fee to 0.2 btc that resulted you paying 0.2 btc fee
