Wishing luck 2 all hunters. I wept after hearing that #66 was found but I was later grateful cuz I could have lost it to the bots which would have been s*icidal rly. Spent some 2 yrs believing it was mine but sadly I was part of the people who focused on ranges from 57 quintillion to 73. I found most of the 13zb1hq's there but I was hell wrong it started with a 46. One can't really find any pattern to that I guess.

My question is how are people who are intending to solve 67 planning secure it to their wallet. I am familiar with the Mara Slipstream recommendation but after I contacted them and asked how they will handle a transaction with similar vulnerability, they were totally evasive, telling me that it is indeed likely that their pool participants could still snipe it and this puzzle has come to their knowledge so using them might be playing with de*th. It is clear they won't be responsible for any misf*rtune which can't be taken lightly.

The only thing off my head is to find a solo miner with powerful enough rigs to have it in his local pool solely. Obviously there will be conditions like what they get from it and once the key is revealed by me, we must be at the same spot in sight possibly in a Faraday Cage until the confirmation is done and the tx is secured.

I am hoping it doesn't have to look like this for someone who really wants to secure their price. lol

So I am asking experts, without getting to this my extreme scenario.

How can this really work pls??

 I really expected a more reassuring response from Mara but they made my jaw drop with their response.
