A staggering transaction fee of 83 BTC, equivalent to a jaw-dropping 3,146,245 USD, has left the crypto community buzzing with speculation. The colossal fee, paid in a single transaction, has raised eyebrows and led to an unexpected intervention by one of the prominent mining pools, ANTPOOL.On November 23rd, the news marked one of the highest fees ever recorded on the Bitcoin network. The exorbitant fee immediately triggered the risk control system of ANTPOOL during the transaction packaging process, prompting an urgent response from the mining pool.ANTPOOL, in an official announcement dated November 30, 2023, disclosed that their risk control system had temporarily frozen the massive fee during the transaction’s processing. The mining pool has now taken a bold step by calling on the user responsible for the hefty transaction fee to come forward and undergo a stringent verification process.<h2 id="header-0">User Verification Steps</h2>To claim the 83 BTC gas fee refund, the user is required to follow a meticulous identity verification process.
