Here's a transaction type I have not yet seen:

1B953j2fgUmP63vLUVTpK4f65mkKt1oZaH ($ 15.99 - Output)
   
1N4G8s4gHwQXD71yvguLXnErYYWs9qnwL4 - (Unspent) $ 3.20
Stealth Address Data - (Unspent) $ 0.00

https://blockchain.info/tx/b9c86416274aa8e233a838ac84dfb9a576f73dde3cc9ed941fafaf5cdff13412

Since the Output ($15.99) <> to the Input amounts ($3.20), I wonder what that "Stealth Address Data" is.  Being able to send BTC to stealthy addresses would be of interest...

I noticed this myself and was wondering the same thing.

It looks like one of the output scripts was an "OP_RETURN" script.

The decoded OP_RETURN message is:
6a2006871f97aa62035736e26bd80b499010ff741618e6c1e0ebf7c5a0bf9f043a79
‡—ªbW6âkØ IÿtæÁàë÷Å ¿Ÿ:y

Unfortunately this is all the information that I have, and I do not exactly understand what this means.

No btc was sent to the stealth address. Most of the inputs went into miner's fees.

This is what I found on Stealth addresses for btc. I don't know if it is related, but assume so.

Thank you for the links.  If I had to guess, that seems to be what this trx is.

I hope that "they" make it easier to use stealth addresses in new versions of Bitcoin Core (if that can even be done).  The more privacy, the better, especially if it is easy to use.
