Importance
82/100
A newly created wallet sent a transaction with an 83.65 BTC fee — over $3 million and more than 120,000 times the normal rate. AntPool mined block 818,087, froze the fee via its risk controls, and agreed to refund the sender after they signed a verification message with the sending key.
