 <p class="paragraph">The largest Bitcoin (BTC) mining pool, AntPool, intends to refund the 83 BTC ($3.13 million) overpaid fee. On November 23, an unknown address sent 55 BTC to another unknown address for a cost of 150% of the received amount.</p>
 <div></div>
 <p class="paragraph">Notably, AntPool announced on November 30 the willingness to <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="refund" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/refund.html">refund</a> the owner of the 83 BTC. In the announcement, BITMAIN’s mining pool explained its security system froze the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="overpaid" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/overpaid.html">overpaid</a> amount and provided instructions for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="refund" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/refund.html">refund</a>.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The anonymous entity must use their private key to sign a message from the overpaying address saying “AntPool.” Then, send the signed text to the pool’s support email address in order to retrieve their funds.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">As announced, this process must happen until December 10, when the fees will finally be distributed to Antpool’s miners if nobody is able to prove ownership.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">Meanwhile, F2Pool was also spotted actively filtering OFAC-sanctioned transactions. This event raised criticism, and the former third-largest mining pool lost its position to ViaBTC in the last three days.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Critics point toward a break in the incentives for miners, who were expected to collect their share of these <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="overpaid" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/overpaid.html">overpaid</a> fees. Interestingly, some speculate that the overpayment was not a mistake and everything was working as intended.</p>
