I mean, you can always ask. And honestly, if they won't hand over most of the wrongly accidentally set fee, I'd think they're really selfish and never want to engage with them in any way, shape or form again.
Whatever happened to he who signs transactions into mempool beware? don't you look at what you're doing when you're signing over millions?

Yeah. However mistakes obviously happen😅.
From a quick FST-analysis I'd set safeguards up so as one's not able to submit a transaction with a crazy high fee overpayment, without actively OKing it or something similar.

As a pleb, I am not sure if you could ask. Or does everyone have easy access to contact mining pools and even get a response?
Imo, this sounds like a bail-out and the miners pointing their hash to f2pool are paying the price for it.

You don't have to engage with them. They're just miners.
I know if i stuffed up a transaction no ones coming to save me

Yeah I don't know how to ask either, more than maybe go on twitter @ing the pool or whatever.
I think it's more than reasonable to keep a space where grave mistakes such as this one can be worked out between the parties involved, instead of simply going "Nope, rules are rules. Overpaying 4000x is on you."
You don't have to engage with them. They're just miners.
I meant that I as in being a miner, wouldn't want to associate myself with and use a pool who wont correct obvious mistakes.
