BTC.Com Detects an 80 BTC Transaction Fee and Offers to Refund the Sender
China-based mining pool, BTC.com mined a block that contained a transaction fee of 80 BTC (about $200, 000 US) . The kind-hearted miners believe the fee was sent in error as the normal transaction fee is estimated to be 2 BTC and the pool is now looking to refund the sender.
BTC.com is asking the sender to come forward with the evidence that it was their transaction as they are not interested in keeping the money for themselves. Following verification, the miners promise to send it back to the owner. In their blog, BTC posted: "Recently, BTC.com mined a block containing a transaction that carried a staggering 80BTC fee,” they went further in the post. “Obviously, something’s up with that. All things said and done; the correct fee should have been approximately 2 BTC.”
In the world of cryptocurrency, miners are not required to reimburse people for fee errors, but most of them have paid them back or have offered to when these issues arise. So when you do make your next crypto transaction, be careful.
