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

[BTCewdquestion]

can we all collectively perhaps chip in a few coin each to help replace this… is there not a mining pool to contact for situations like this.. This is not honest earned money by a miner.. It is not wrong of me to ask for it back.

Why the fuck would i or anyone set the fee at that it is ludacris.

Who owns/runs block chain I'm going to email them. this is fucked up

If you can figure out which pool mined the block they might give it back to you.  I know of a couple of instances when someone sent a huge transaction fee (much more than you did) and begged the pool and they gave it back because it was an obvious mistake.

What was the transaction ID again?  Let's see if it was mined by a "nice" pool.

I agree, this is by far the best route.

Begging here will only attract spite, but asking nicely (nicely!!) to the pool will likely yield results.

Why would you even start to think that blockchain.info is remotely responsible for your mistake?

That is the worst possible attitude you can have around here. 

We/I might be able to help you out.  Please post the transaction ID so we can see what we can do.

Yes, OP must post the transaction ID ... like this : http://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/4ed20e0768124bc67dc684d57941be1482ccdaa45dadb64be12afba8c8554537

Holy crap!  Is that the largest fee in the blockchain?  Makes 0.2 BTC look like nothing.

Seems that this block was mined by bitfury

Only thing left for you is to ask them nicely to return you that fee. If you make yourself look like begging for it or being aggressive that will not help you at all. All we can do now is wish you good luck with that

I understand, now how do i contact them? is there an email, can i do it here on the forum?

[BurtW]

Just explain that you made a mistake and ask nicely.  Looking at the transaction it is an obvious mistake.  I have high hopes you will get it back since we do know the pool.  It it had been an unknown pool or the P2P pool probably not.

Try emailing support@bitfury.org if it's really their address as it seems to be.

[ForgottenPassword]

How did you guys determine it was Bitfury? All I see is "Unknown with 1AcAj9p Address".


(and who is Bitfury, didn't there used to be an early ASIC manufacturer named that? I thought they were bankrupt)

Post the full transaction hash (the long string of characters) so we can look up the transaction on Blockchain.info

I can see what happened here. There was on field for "Amount to send" and one field for "Transaction fee" and you switched them up. By default you have a transaction fee of 0.0001 which you changed to 0.2

See how the total amount you sent was 0.2001 (0.0001 + 0.2fee instead of 0.2 + 0.0001fee)

They do have over $8.5 million at this address:  https://blockchain.info/address/1AcAj9p6zJn4xLXdvmdiuPCtY7YkBPTAJo

I would expect they won't miss 0.2 BTC in revenue
