The research startup Amberdata analyzed the activity of the Ethereum network in the last 24 hours and, like the media, found five transactions with an abnormally high commission.

It turned out that all five transfers were made from one address. Within four hours, the owner of the address paid the miners about $ 583,976 for processing transactions.

Note that the commission for block # 7,238,290 in the amount of 2103,1485 ETH, which was received by the Sharkpool pool, is the largest in the history of the network. Nevertheless, the representatives of the pool temporarily froze funds in case the owner of the address made a mistake.

Amberdata is convinced that an unknown developer mixed up the “gas price” field and “transaction cost”, left the workplace, and then the bot did not work correctly.

In code, this error might look like this:

It is noteworthy that users of the Etherscan browser have already left more than ten messages calling for the owner of the address to share money.

Recall, blocks with extremely high reward mined Sharkpool, Nanopool and Ethermine.
