A user mistakenly paid 1.6 BTC in transaction fees, with approximately $103,000 in total funds going entirely to miners.

2026.08.13 17:56:11

A user encountered an anomaly in their Replace-by-Fee (RBF) script that automatically increases transaction fees, leading to a Bitcoin transaction where they paid 1.60 BTC (valued at ~$102,800) in network fees while sending zero BTC to the recipient. The transaction was included in Bitcoin block 962142 on August 12. On-chain records show the transaction had one single input totaling 160,343,885 satoshis, all of which were paid to miners as fees, with zero output amount. The root cause is that the user’s automated script, which raised RBF fees every second, lacked a reasonable fee cap, causing the fees to gradually eat up the entire input sum. The block was mined by SpiderPool, and this transaction accounted for 88% of the block’s total fees of approximately 1.82 BTC.
