The \"see me after class\" message suggests it was a teaching exercise. Of course, \"expensive\" is relative - if someone had substantial BSV holdings, this fee might be trivial to them.  \r\n\r\nTransaction ID\r\n\r\n6a0d4e3e859ae693f49777fff82a9bb7286c1649dd2c3bc01cd163d6a3018676",

  "map_content": "Sure thing! Looks like my facts were right, but my guess about the intention being a teaching occasion wasn\u2019t. It looks like the huge fee tx came from a bug in a mnemonic recovery tool a guy was using. I hope the miner is helpful and gives him his 400 BSV back. \r\nThe second transaction that spent the 1 Satoshi output does appear to be a teaching moment though. \u201csee me after class\u201d \ud83d\ude04\r\nit was interesting to me to see script mechanics. That transaction was written in a way that allowed anyone to spend it. \r\nThe script was not malformed, it was accepted by the validation engine. It\u2019s perfectly acceptable to have a script that anyone can spend. Pay to Hash Puzzles work this way I think, but to unlock it you just have to solve the puzzle.",

  "map_content": "It\u2019s a blast to explore, I agree! It\u2019s the beauty of a public blockchain. Sleuthing benefits all when shared. \r\nRe: those addresses.. Depending on skill level you could find out for yourself by going to the transaction and looking at the 5 inputs that represent the 3 unique addresses on What\u2019s On Chain and click on each one. \r\nThey each have a zero balance now. And show what prior transactions contributed to activity on it (all within the past year). \r\nSince I have more information now, it looks likely that it was unintended and accidental. The output being 1 Satoshi and the inputs totalling 400 some odd BSV - it\u2019s simple math. The mining fee is calculated by subtracting the outputs from the inputs. Hence, a 400ish BSV miner fee.\r\nFor some of us this kind of investigation is fun because you learn more about how this magnificent system works! \r\nI do hope the miner will give back the fees paid. I\u2019ve heard that sometimes they will. It\u2019s still a very small ecosystem.",
