Of course, what prevents me from selling a script that I created, which has the correct functions for safe transfers without being stolen?

If I want to sell it, I won't give it away for free. I’m not foolish enough to hand over the ‘knife and the cheese’ to someone so they can benefit from it without my compensation. I’ve already tested it multiple times. Even

military-grade security measures haven’t succeeded in interfering with my transfers, which range from 66 to 100 bits—all tested and functioning perfectly."



You are in the least opportune group to make such claims. Bitcoin follows a set of rules for making transactions, which are already well known and well documented. There is no way to make a transaction (tx), expose a public key (in the case of puzzles) and build a tx without it being replaceable. Once the public key is exposed, it can be replaced by anyone who has the private key. However, the tx can be hidden before its confirmation in only two cases: by mining your own block or by using https://slipstream.mara.com/
