You're fucked. Learn from this mistake. Electrum will tell you the fee before you send. You most likely had A lot of inputs and outputs.

At least you can be sure your payment will be confirmed in a timely fashion.

Find who mined the block . Ask the mining pool to return the fee

Bitcoin cash is the real bitcoin with low fee.


[9 Points] ISwearIDontDoDrugs:

Fees are calculated based on the size in bytes of your transaction. A single input to a single output is cheap, multiple inputs being combined into a single output is expensive.

As for where the fee goes, it goes to the miner / pool that mined the block and included your transaction in it. Consider it non refundable.

Expensive lesson to learn especially since you commented that is not all your money.

The lesson is that BTC is fucked, but Bitcoin Cash is here to save us. Low to Zero fees on BCH bitcoin cash.

Lol sorry bro

If you look up your transaction on blockchain.info what does it say for Fee Per Byte?


[3 Points] zyrs86:

That must have sent fast

lol bitcoin


[6 Points] not_theymos:

Next time use XMR.To or shapeshift instead of "tumbling" changing block chains is alot harder to track then basic delay's between deposits, ant thats why now and then someone like you get to fit the bill for a "mixer" while lots of others do fine with them. Monero exists for a reason, use it.

Before confirming the sending, electrum should show a preview of the transaction, if y hit it in menu, fee included.


[3 Points] hamburgerhelper123:

wanna hear somthing funny? the transaction still took 15 min to do according to blockchain...


[2 Points] throwptk:

This is why you should send from coinbase to market. (don't actually do this)


[2 Points] increaseblocks:

You should start using Bitcoin Cash instead. Fees are just pennies unlike Bcore death chain with $20 txn fees. Ask about it in r/btc or go to bitcoincash.org.

If you could find who mined it they may give you fee back. Or they may just say fuck that.

decimal points....how do they work...


[1 Points] Railonregent:

I think u might be fkd man. Hopefully u get it back and let us know how u go


[1 Points] bebopx2:

Seems a tad high. But was the transaction FAST!!


[1 Points] appullsux:

Coinbase is the ultimate fuckery when it comes to "fees"


[1 Points] hamburgerhelper123:

no response from miners yet. hoping for the best, still not sure how i was able to send a transaction fee so high when i never change my fees and when i do i use the fee multi instead of typeing it in. i think it was a bug but i dont expect anything just hoping for the best. im sure they know no one would send half their btc as a fee and do the right thing. someone send me some luck
