It is a lose-lose example in my case the bot will keep increment 1sat/vB more than your or anyone else TX.

In the final round in case to reach the limit of the input balance it will append an extra input to the TX and send 100% of the puzzle address as fee.

There are so many bots set up running hunting for the public key of 66. Wouldn't it already be the case where each of the bot will keep appending an extra input to the TX till it reaches 100% of the reward as a fee?   



The only way to do that is by using the MARA Pool Slipstream. The transaction will be mined before the public key enters the mempool.

It won't actually be seen at all through the mempool.


Do you know how the previous solver of puzzle 64 claimed his reward with just transaction fee of BTC 0.00063 while MARA isn't available yet and there also exists of bots out there back then?
