Did someone just pay $18k in fees for an NFT?

20 sats \ 5 comments \ @022fbc9cef 23 Feb 2023 bitcoin

It seems someone inscribed an NFT to the blockchain and paid 3/4 of a bitcoin in fees to get it to occupy almost the whole block.

See 777945: https://mempool.space/tx/79b91e594c03c8f06d70c44a288a88a413c540abca007829ca119686a7f979da

If I know the tx id or block, how can I find what inscription it was?

It's the transaction id followed by 'i' and the output index (0): https://ordinals.com/inscription/79b91e594c03c8f06d70c44a288a88a413c540abca007829ca119686a7f979dai0

This was worth $18k to them I guess 😂

Saying "paid $18k in fees" show us that you still have a lot to learn about Bitcoin. That tx paid 75M sats not $$$$ dollars. Over Bitcoin network you are NOT transferring dollars but only sats.

Stop thinking in fiat, Bitcoin is only about sats. If is a moron that paid 75M sats in fees, who cares? More sats for us, no? They will cry later.

Just chose that for the title thinking it might get more attention :) then used 3/4 of a btc in the text.

Anyway, when all prices will be denominated in sats I agree we will not need to mention the $$ value at all.
