Importance
80/100
Crypto infrastructure provider Paxos accidentally paid a 19.82 BTC transaction fee — worth over $500,000 — to move just 0.008 BTC. A bug in Paxos corporate operations caused the error. F2Pool mined block 807,057, collected the fee, then verified and fully refunded Paxos after public debate over whether miners should return mistaken fees.
