That would eliminate fees entirely as well, unless you're proposing an additional "fee" output. That would take additional space, which means it won't flow as space is at a premium. I don't know of any wallet software that would let someone do this, so this must have been a manually-created transaction.

Hehe. > But your overall point is well taken: Bitcoin is sociopathic software where "sorry for your loss" is considered a feature, not a bug. Nonstandard hand-rolled transaction? Fuck you, you deserve to get robbed. Well except, in this case, the miner is offering to give the fee back. In general, you're right though. :)
- TD-Linux 9y agoEven if you hand-roll a transaction, when you try to send it, Bitcoin Core will parse it and refuse to send it if the fees are too high: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2949 https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2949
