Damn - sorry. I only paid 4 satoshi for the confirmation. $2 billion stuck in transit. Rookie mistake. Won't happen again. Can't - that was my last $2 billion.
The biggest transaction I ever saw was about $600 million, in I think 2014, the fee was less than 1 dollar. (it was believed from the exchange Bitstamp, to prove their solvability).
If you don't include enough satoshis (fees) when sending bitcoin, the transaction will reverse and the bitcoin will go back to your wallet usually after 2-3 days. They don't get lost in the neverland. [Transactions that are in the mempool and do not confirm (not committed to the blockchain) are dropped from the mempool and wallets will be able to search the blockchain and the bitcoin will be in the original (sender's) address as if the transaction never took place] Confused? Welcome to the world of decentralized cryptocurrency. If you can't handle....
"When someone says they are decentralized, point them here." .. OK I'll do that .. Confused ? you bet I am ... far more knowledgeable people than me can't even agree over whether Bitcoin is decentralized or not .
