Re: Ouch, today someone made a transaction with over $500k fee.
Breaking: It was PayPal who overpaid $500k on transaction fees:
Suddenly I feel less sympathetic for them. After all these years of limiting people's accounts for buying bitcoins and badmouthing BTC, now they got a taste of how bitter their own punishment really is. Of course, nobody deserves to lose $500k BTC to miners. It is now highly unlikely hey will ever see that BTC from F2Pool again.
He or She must be drunk will setting up that transaction since imagine how huge the fee he set up then for sure he is now so bothered with the money he lost out of that transaction. He should at least check the mempool to see what is the recommended fee to make his transaction fast but crazy things happen I guess this serves a lesson for him and for people which read his story since this is really a painful mistake done by holder.
