Hi, so exactly a month ago from now I posted a thread about me panicking due to sending a transaction with a 2.5 BTC fee, which you can see here.

Now, right when I posted this thread I went ahead and opened a ticket with AntPool on my own and I received the following reply the next day.

Dear Faris,

We have applied your loss for the financial apartment in our company, they will process it soon.

And I will inform you when they pay the 2.5BTC to your wallet address.

Before that, you can release and just wait. You will get your 2.5 BTC loss back. Don't worry about that.

Looking forward to continuing to build your trust and bringing you more added values through our advanced technology and passion.

Beat Regards,
Hugh

Which is basically when I relaxed and knew I'm dealing with a good pool, and of course 4 days after that (or 6 days after the incident), I received my 2.5 BTC!

Now, the reason I'm apologizing is because I basically ignored the massive attention my thread got and everyone who tried to help me. Especially xhomerx10.. I didn't get email notifications nor notifications here on Bitcointalk and I completely forgot about the whole thing.

So yea, I'm sorry for ignoring everyone who tried to help me, I really appreciate it, thank you!

Oh, another thing, nope, I'm not affiliated with AntPool in any way, I'm just a normal user who did a mistake and needed actual help, and I'm very grateful for the help I received.

This is how I did this; I was using Blockchain.info and wanted to send a transaction, I went to Preev.com and entered 2.5 USD to get the amount in Bitcoin and put a $2.5 fee, instead of copying the amount in Bitcoin I copied the USD amount (which is 2.5, so..) and put it in Blockchain. Funny enough, it almost happened to me again that day, though since I check like 5 times now, I noticed it.

To answer another question, no, AntPool did not make me sign a message. They just returned money to the one it was sent from. They asked me if it's my address and I said yea.

The reason I'm not posting this in the original thread is because it was locked by an admin, or that is what it tells me when I try to unlock it anyways.

This was locked by an administrator. You cannot unlock it.

Thanks everyone.
