AntPool agrees to refund record $3 million Bitcoin transaction fee
AntPool, a prominent Bitcoin mining pool, has opted to reimburse a remarkable $3 million transaction fee, subsequent to a gas fee submission of 83 BTC on November 23rd. The transaction was temporarily frozen by AntPool's risk control system during packaging. To facilitate the refund process, AntPool has stipulated that the original funds owner must engage in identity verification by contacting them before 00:00 (UTC+8) on December 10, 2023. The pool has further requested the individual to employ a signing tool, such as Electrum or Bitcoin Core, utilizing the private key associated with the address involved, to sign the message "AntPool." The signed text should subsequently be forwarded to AntPool's designated support email address.
