RE: Guy sent Bitcoin Transaction with 80BTC as fee.. Pool offers to give him the money back [+ Little Guide]

in #bitcoin8 years ago

Sometimes the miners aren't as helpful. Cointelegraph.com had an article today about a Reddit post where u/ask_for_pgp appealed to miners on Reddit trying to stop a transaction before it was confirmed. He fell victim to a clipboard altering program that changed his destination address to a presumed hacker's wallet instead of his friend's wallet. Cost him 13 BTC. Despite petitions to the miners the 13 BTC transaction has been confirmed.

Not that easy to not confirm and prove all that but of course - it all depends :)
