Re: == Bitcoin challenge transaction: ~1000 BTC total bounty to solvers! ==UPDATED==
So, has anyone figured out a bulletproof way to spend puzzle 66's inputs, once the key is found, without the internet-of-bots stealing the prize? Other than trying to find a big enough mining pool that will mine your transaction into a block and not expose the transaction to the mempool? Could any mining pool even be trusted to that extent?
I cant belive that I read this BS again on this forum. Are you out of your mind? Why the hell do you need a mining pool?
I have read a similar BS from another user in another topic, that is talking about miners.
You dont need any miners to get the money, when you got the privatekey, you can immediately take control of the bitcoins. Do you really dont know how?
Mining has nothing to do with obtaining the privkey, once its loaded and sent to a new address the next transaction in line will pick it up and you will obtain ownership. The alt coins however would be left intact and easily breakable for first come first serve. I know for a fact If I managed to break a puzzle I would not be worried about the small alt coin addresses, I am sure someone could sweep them all at once but I dont have time for that.
Again, Miners have nothing to do with solving the puzzle. If 2 people were to try to send the coins at the same time for some reason on the same block, 1 transaction would reject depending on that tx in the mempool, and the exact time it was sent. The miner speed would be the same for both of them as the blocks get solved 1 at a time. The network will attemp a target time "usually a minute" for each block to get solved by adjusting difficuilty based on current net hash rate, its not perfect but a sudden ramp up in hash rate will only solve a few blocks before the difficuilty adjusts to correct the solving speed.
