Last edit: May 13, 2014, 05:52:06 PM by btcxchg #1

I have made the worst mistake of my life and I am here asking for help of any kind.



A couple of hours ago I was selling 2.8 bitcoins to a guy and made the mistake in the blockchain.info wallet of fill the fields of bitcoins amount and transaction fee inverted. The result is a transaction of 0.0003 btcs with a fee of 2.8 btcs.



This is the transaction:

GHash.IO found that block, I have the hope they could understand the situation and help me returning some bitcoins.



Those where the savings for live a couple of months.



Any other suggestions?





Thanks a lot

The only thing you can do is contact GHash.IO and hope that the pool operator is willing to help you.



There are no other suggestions possible.



Good luck.

I believe the Bitcoin Core reference client might have been changed so that it wouldn't allow you to create transactions like that. However, he wasn't using Bitcoin Core. He was using blockchain.info.



There is nothing that prevents peers from relaying such a transaction or miners from confirming such a transaction if you use a service that allows you to make the mistake.



People should probably contact blockchain.info support and ask them to implement a safety feature to prevent such mistakes ASAP.



If enough people contact them and demand such a feature, I suspect they will implement it pretty quickly. It doesn't seem to be a very difficult thing to do.

What I saw at the transaction confirmation step in blockchain.info was a warning popup noticing about the big transaction fee amount. The first time it appears I was paying a transaction fee of 0.0005 btc, so when I saw that popup I reduced to 0.0003. It appears again and submitted the transaction anyway thinking it was very strange and don't analyzing the situation a lot cause I was hurry.

I will contact them to inform this.



Thanks

It's a strange circumstance, and I hope you get your coins back! I do agree that it's a bit weird that you could even do that, but I guess making limitations would be worse.



Be thankful a large pool found it so that you can still ask them. It's a strange circumstance, and I hope you get your coins back!
