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",

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.", "media_type": "text/markdown", "filename": "|", "author": "1QC6bjxvSBdiHqGM48t5RxjTEYW6BX4vu4", "display_name": "bridget", "channel": null, "parent_txid": "147a0a5f6b6a84cadecc223f5f771e3ca1be5f35720c6bd17b52926275284c33", "ref_txid": null, "tags": null, "reply_count": 0, "like_count": 5, "timestamp": "2025-08-23T07:17:47.000Z", "media_url": null, "aip_verified": true, "has_access": true, "attachments": [], "ui_name": "bridget", "ui_display_name": "bridget", "ui_handle": "bridget", "ui_display_raw": "bridget", "ui_signer": "1QC6bjxvSBdiHqGM48t5RxjTEYW6BX4vu4", "ref_ui_name": "unknown", "ref_ui_signer": "unknown" }
