I personally have no trust in intermediary sites like Slipstream Mara. These are all delusional thoughts that are expressed. Anyone who can solve Puzzle 71 can create a transaction with a gift of 1 million Satoshi and broadcast it on the network. Rest assured, with this reward, miners will not hesitate for a moment to accept it. Your transaction will be confirmed and there is no need to worry until the robots try to reach the public key from the private key.

I’ve seen a lot of bullshit here about how this whole thing works lately. These people looks the same of those who believes Karl Marx’s theories would work without understanding nothing about how our reality works. Every block is supossed to be mined in 10 minutes by default, except some cases that it is mined in one minute or in one hour. Setting a higher fee doesn’t change anything since RBF let you set a higher fee than what you set before. So why do you think setting a million of satoshis would get your transaction mined safely? Just because it’s a high fee? You’re right when you said miners will not hesitate to accept your transaction with one million in fee, but how about a bot double it with a 2 million satoshis as fee? Will the miners accept it or your transaction is so special that it cannot be RBF? What will you do between the time you broadcast your transaction and the time it is confirme? Oh let me guess: loose your funds to a bot cause you were ignorant about how this whole thing works. The problem with low entropy like 71 is it can be cracked easily once you broadcast a transaction and the public key is exposed. Since it’s security is low, bots will crack and replace your transaction with a higher fee and you lose your funds. The problem people here seems to not understand is: it’s not the security of bitcoin, it’s the entropy. By default the wallets today has 256 bits os security which is impossible with modern hardware to crack it, but with 71 bits of entropy its security is nothing. But remember: only brute forcing is still almost impossible without public key, but once you have the public key you can get the private key in seconds.
