i did a video on my process for all this and it was just way too long. Here is a summary of my findings on the recent anomalous 400+ USD miner fee from a recent transaction.

if you don't want to go out to X to see it, here it is:

The Mystery of the Anomalous 400 BSV Miner Fee on Block 910550

Someone paid a 400+ BSV transaction fee on block 910550.

Here's what I found:

The Facts

+ Transaction had five UTXOs from three separate addresses as inputs

+ Output was 1 satoshi locked with just OP_NOP (meaning anyone could spend it)

+ That 1 satoshi was later spent using OP_1 as input script (no signatures)

+ The spending transaction included an OP_RETURN message: "see me after class"

My Theory (for what its worth :))

This looks like an intentional educational demonstration - using the blockchain as a whiteboard to teach Bitcoin script mechanics. 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.

I sent a msg to bsv assoc about this, have got no response. Can you help?"Source: https://x.com/dechevaliere/status/1958998799864705295

Yes, approaching CUVVE the miner is the best approach.
