Yeah no. Merit is not a prize, this is NOT a competition. Now tell me why do you want merit? Just to rank up and shitpost for bounties?
Only one of the transactions would be valid in the BTC blockchain.

For the transaction to be valid in 2 different blocks it would have to be during a fork of the original chain.

After typing this I looked for validation on my theory
and came across this
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/18656/can-a-transaction-be-in-two-blocks

After reading the response and given when it was written, it looks like other than a fork this would only occur if someone was trying to 51% attack the chain and create a double spend opportunity for themselves.

What I did learn and did not know before, or really think about is that, if you include an already confirmed transaction in a found block it will be rejected and you would lose out on the block reward.

This brings me to another question if someone feels like learning me some knowledge... If someone did lose a block by including an already confirmed transaction, does the network keep working on that particular block, or do all valid transactions that were included in the block go back to the mempool, and the block reward is lost?
The answer to your question is probably the latter. The network would rather focus on the future blocks, and the transactions in the invalid block would go to the future blocks. Although I cannot be a 100% sure.
Its been a while since I visited this thread, here's my question:

Question:  What is a stealth address? How does it work and how does one use them?
