Anyway, if this is mainly about BTC puzzle solving, one would expect that the best candidate who would actually deserve a donation from the puzzle creator is the person who initially solved #66, as he was able to fulfill the original purpose for which the BTC puzzle was created in the first place
I agree with the sentiment, and I wish saatoshi_rising would reward the real solver for his effort.However, the creator only sees this as an unfortunate consequence of lower bit keys. It seems clear he/she only cares about #160 being solved.
but was robbed through RBF during price cash-out by a bot run by a thief, who, instead of being at least silent, keeping his mouth shut, and giving minimum half BTC back to the original #66 solver, was so insolent that he even dared to mock this person with some, only according to his head, kind of wannabe-wise messages left in BTC addresses. Primitive psychopath.
Now, we can call the owner of the bot a thief but that is simply not logically sound:{
1) No one owns Bitcoin. You have a unique number that allows you to move sats from a database entry to another through the network consensus mechanism.
2) Once the bot got that unique number, he had equal rights to claim the reward.
}
Of course, if you somehow found the prvkey for bc1qa5wkgaew2dkv56kfvj49j0av5nml45x9ek9hz6 -- I would not recommend using this logic and claiming those 69370 BTC
