Issue Fixed #8134
Description
I have posted image proof I did not check transaction fee before sending however I have sent countless transactions with very low transaction fees instead of this one…
Can you lmk how this happened and or why? I’ve accepted I have lost the xmr but yeah… I’m willing to share the logs with the devs to see why this would happen prevent it from happening etc

I need to know the IP of the remote node (I asked on Reddit about it)
selsta commentedon Jan 7, 2022
that's a completely different IP now :/ do you have the previous one?

Ok, next time you see an extremely high fee, please go directly to Settings -> Log and post the output of
statusso that we can find out which node is responsible for this.Currently you are the only transaction on the blockchain with a high fee so it isn't widespread yet.

The fee / block was mined by MineXMR, I will contact them, maybe they can refund it :)

It will probably take a bit until I can contact @xnbya (MineXMR admin). Can you post your XMR address here in the meantime?

Though I don't know how quickly the pool distributes the block rewards. If they do it quickly then maybe they can't refund it anymore. Sorry, I didn't want to get your hopes up. Let's wait for @xnbya reply.

The block reward has already been distributed to miners, the pool won't be able to refund it I'm afraid.

I'm still trying to figure out why this happened and how we can avoid it in the future.
Couple ideas:

No, this is not possible. It would be visible on the confirmation screen. The fee gets calculated client side with data from the server.

Posted a report on Monero Observer: https://www.monero.observer/pacificnwvet-pays-3.93-xmr-fee-0.34-xmr-transaction/
Hopefully you can recover at least some of the funds. @PacificNWVet

No one using wallet in simple mode will have a use case to have a higher fee than transaction so a simple check should be installed (maybe just keep area greyed if out of bounds with popup stating why) for any wallet not in advanced mode.
