Re: Simple logic to avoid confusing tx fee with transaction amount

I was thinking about the person that accidentally sent about 300 btc as a fee and .001 as the transaction amount, and it occurred to me that some simple logic could be put in place to avoid that. Just add a check to see whether the tx fee is larger than the amount being transferred and if so, either warn the user or reject the transaction or whatever. I don't recall what wallet he was using, but I haven't heard that any wallet has such simple logic yet....



The reason this simple logic doesn't work is because there are valid transactions where the amount transferred is less than the tx fee.
