20 BTC fee. Oops. Is that a record?
makes zero sense to me
zero
how
Wooowww !
Ooof

Was this transaction floating around before it got mined? Might be an accounting trick for a miner to include it.
That’s a metric shit ton of oof.
Maybe the miner didnt broadcast the transaction and mined against it for accounting trickery?
Wow! Assuming this was not intentional for some reason, sincere sympathies for whoever made this mistake. If I were an F2Pool member, I would be willing to give up my piece of that fee if requested. I doubt there's an easy way to do that though. Any idea how it may have happened?
holy shit I'd cry
Poor guy. Ended up with 0.07 BTC. And 19.82 in fees. Probably wanted it the other way round.
In the future, miners will rely solely on transaction fees for their work ⛏️ I think they will be fine 🫂

Custodians send bonds and wires that are sometimessent in error too. I used to do it myself and it always freaked me out how little review there was on it before I would move hundreds of millions of $.
I did send some bonds to the wrong bank one time but luckily we got it back. There’s no guarantee.
Fiat value record
Were they using an old QT wallet? I remember this used to happen from time to time and the miner would sometimes send it back to the originator who made the mistake.
Pain
Fees are implicit in the difference between the value of the inputs and the value of the outputs. If you pay out ₿0.075 from a ₿19 UTXO and don't include a change output paying most of it back to yourself, that's a transaction miners are *really* going to want to lock in.

I don't think I'd be able to get over that sort of f-up
Ouch, that hurts…⚡️🚽
Could it be bitcoin "laundering" by the miner?
Hahaha, lucky miner.
don't drink and send!
aaah
ahhhh ok
this was an exchange right, at least a highly active person with min 400 #bitcoin left
Whoopss 😅
So snitchin
Not the first time something like this has happened
this bitcoin fees are getting outrageous
Assuming it was a payment to self.
Good point. Had not checked sending address
Yeah it's a steep fee. But I wouldn't mind paying 0.4% when receiving 19BTC, or possibly having it being paid for me by the payer.
Plebs will be priced out soon 😂
Don’t get your pantries in a bunch, This must be a pay off
Sex transactions could have happened and we just dont know.....
Akshually, sounds like this was in the mempool before block discovery. Sounds like some very bad software. Everyone hates test-driven development until they wished they didn't.
They bought a stick of gum with a $100 bill and said "keep the change".
love this! thanks
You're right, and I misunderstood which was the fee and which was the paid amount. Mind blown, in slow motion.

In that case the pool wouldn't broadcast the transaction, but only include it in it's own candidate block.
An excellent comparison.
