I like to go fishing down at my node mempool quite often just for fun. I see incredible overpaid fees all the time and wonder how such things could even happen.

7 inputs totaling just less than $300 are consolidated into a single output worth just over $200 with a fee of $68 (overpaying 581x to be be confirmed after 4 minutes in an almost empty block)

😲😬🤯😱🤪🤓
