Sure thing! Looks like my facts were right, but my guess about the intention being a teaching occasion wasn’t. 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.
The second transaction that spent the 1 Satoshi output does appear to be a teaching moment though. “see me after class” 😄
it was interesting to me to see script mechanics. That transaction was written in a way that allowed anyone to spend it.
The script was not malformed, it was accepted by the validation engine. It’s 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.
