A user, while transferring 0.074 BTC, inadvertently paid a staggering fee of 19.82 BTC, equivalent to $512,000. This sets a new record for the highest transaction fee in dollar terms.
F2Pool, the mining pool that benefitted from this oversight, has decided to reserve the amount for three days to allow any potential claims. If no compensation request arises, they plan to distribute it to their miners.
