AntPool, a prominent Bitcoin mining pool, has announced its decision to refund the 83.6 Bitcoins ($3 million) transaction fee that made headlines last week.&nbsp;
The incident occurred when a user <a href="https://bitcoinworld.co.in/bitcoin-user-mistakenly-paid-83-6btc-as-fee-for-55-77btc-transfer/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">mistakenly</a> submitted an 83.6 BTC gas fee for 55.77 BTC transfer, prompting AntPool’s risk control system to temporarily freeze the transaction during packaging.&nbsp;
AntPool has set a deadline for the original owner <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-miner-antpool-refund-record-044721508.html#:~:text=AntPool%2C%20a%20Bitcoin%20mining%20pool,to%20its%20risk%20control%20system." rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">to</a> verify their identity before December 10, 2023, by contacting the mining pool.&nbsp;
To facilitate the refund process, the mining company has requested the user to prepare a signing tool, such as Electrum or Bitcoin Core, using the private key of the address associated with the transaction. The user must sign the message ‘AntPool’ and send the signed text to the provided support email address.

The erroneous transaction, which set a new record with a $3.1 million fee, involved the transfer of 55.77 BTC with a pre-transaction balance of 139.42 BTC.&nbsp;
The user overpaid by an astonishing 120,528 times, as reported by Bitcoin explorer Mempool. This incident follows a similar occurrence in September, where a $500,000 fee was mistakenly paid, identified as a ‘fat finger’ error.&nbsp;
An anonymous Bitcoin user transferred a whopping 19.89 BTC as transaction fees to execute the transfer of merely 0.074 BTC (which was then valued at less than $2,000).&nbsp;
F2Pool, the Bitcoin mining pool responsible for creating the valid block, received the payment and later agreed to reimburse the fee to the crypto services provider Paxos.
