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

[BurtW]

use electrum it let you set the fee easily without margin to mistakes

What does it do if you put the fee in where you should put the transfer amount and put the transfer amount in where you should put the fee?

Please try it and report back what happens.  Thanks!

your0.2btc is lost for sure.sent to miners.

This is a perfect example of the kind of crap posts that got under my skin this morning.  There were just so many to wade through this morning in this specific thread, all with nothing to contribute and they had obviously not read the thread.  Sorry I went off all tilted like that.  I am much calmer now that I have had my morning coffee

Sadly most threads work like this, look at the Lazlo's pizza thread, or at the "EU robbed me 700k€" thread.

Did you accidentally set the transaction fee to high or was it auto set to that (were you even able to see what the fee was set to before sending)? Were you using the "advanced" feature of their new phone application?

i think thats not will give effect anything . fee high not 0.2 just 0.001
he lost something.

He used the BCI web wallet and went to the advanced send section. There he confused the fee and the amount field.

-_- you can't be serious.

There are ways to customize the fee in electrum.

Point is: OP went in to the advanced sending mode and made a mistake.

Yeah that's what I figured. People shouldn't be using the advanced tab unless they know what they are doing, guess it's a good thing its turned off by default.

can we all collectively perhaps chip in a few coin each to help replace this…

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

no one helps my oopsie… it makes everything bitcoin look bad. A giant ugly mole on its face that keeps growing.

I do feel bad for you, as this was an honest mistake, but you need to recognize that it's YOUR mistake. You take no responsibility for your mistake. This is the equivalent of shooting someone and say it's the gun's fault. Stop playing the blame game. Then you resort to begging for everyone to chip in to help cover your loss, like it's the community's responsibility to cover for you. Stop with the attitude of entitlement. Lastly, people ARE trying to help you, as you can see from this thread. EVERYTHING related to bitcoin looks bad because of your one incidence? You're not that important.

Use the standard Qt client. You can't change the fee amount unless you actively look for the setting.

I understand you completely. I am the same way

Btw OP is aware that it was his mistake and he is now waiting for reply from Bitfury. He nicely asked to send him that fee back and it doesn't mean that he lost it all. Bitfury will probably return him his 0.2 BTC and he will learn a lesson.

[LouReed]

^ 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!

[Newar]

[...] 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.

[Weed Stuff]

did i just lose a .2btc transaction because the fee was set at .2btc?

maybe you download malicious ffile and you got monitoring of people  .
check your pc . sorry for your loss . fee never 0.20

[keithers]

Don't you guys think it is the best practice to just leave the fee sets to default on all clients?   The fee is so small anyway, you don't even really notice it...

[Este Nuno]

Is Bitfury GigaVPS? If so maybe you can try a PM to him on here or something.

All true, and very well said.

Same happens with blockchain.info.

I mean if he really went to such great length as to set the transaction fee himself in an advanced dialog, it really is his own fault, I guess. I do get people who say that Bitcoin isn't ready for the mass market and that things are still too complicated. But if people really use advanced features against advice and then mess things up, well... their fault I guess

GigaVPS is a buddy of mine.  I already talked to him.  Here is what he said:

I believe that address to be a private mine that may be controlled by bitfury. I don't have much more info than that.

YES.

Unless you really understand exactly what you are doing, exacly how the fee structure works, etc.

[giveBTCpls]

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?
