WTF, Is it believable for a low amount transaction of this fee.

4 may 2024, someone paid $100,608 fees for their $6 amount Bitcoin transfer.

Hmm. No change address. Weird. I don't think any legit wallet would miss that.

ive sent txs setting the fee to be deducted from the sent amount in core. so, the tx goes out with just destination addy. guess it was deliberate?

This kind of thing used to happen occasionally because someone tried to spend directly from a paper wallet without transferring the whole amount in the wallet. There is no change address for a paper wallet, so you have to transfer the whole amount in the paper wallet to a 'hot' wallet first if you want to be able to spend some part of it and get your change.

...or build yourself a 2-output transaction, where one is your intended payment destination and the other a change address you already control. Then sign it and broadcast it. Bitcoin DIY for OGs, I guess...
