Your only choices are a public service like slipstream.mara.com which have already been mentioned in this thread, for the first time in this thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5218972.msg64390395#msg64390395, where your transaction is queued non-publicly to be mined in one of the pool's next blocks. You need to trust the pool and the non-public "mempool" to not screw you over.

You solo mine the block with your transaction, which is a more or less theoretical option as you hardly can afford the ressources required to solo mine a block reliably within a decent time frame. You don't want to wait days, weeks or months to solo mine your block to confirm your solution to a puzzle when you compete with other potential puzzles solvers.

Thanks and makes sense. I wish whoever was sniped on #66 would mention what they did so we don't repeat it.

Yeah I'd like to know the actual truth to this.
Seems like an assumption at best that the coins were taken by a bot.

Could it not just as easily been the person who found the key? or maybe a pool found the key and the one that got 0.66BTC was the 'miner' and got a bigger share and the rest got split?

Seems a little conspiratorial to me that magic bots can see a pending Tx, get the pubkey before it posts, crack the privkey and then make a new Tx with a higher fee and front run the first Tx.... Pie in sky if you ask me
