Taking the fact that they(Mara) do not broadcast transactions from their memory pool to the network this option looks very promising. Even if we consider the Mara pool as a black box, you have proof that you sent your transaction to this box.

6. After you have submitted the transaction hex, you will receive a personalized link to view your transaction’s status
Well done WanderingPhilospher!some bots threw errors during this test, why? there will probably be a catch
here's how you should do it, by some miracle you solve the 66 address puzzle, then you create a transaction, then a second later you start your own bot that starts creating new transactions for the 66 addresses you have access to, the goal is to flood the blockchain with transactions
then after a minute when foreign bots start creating transactions to steal your bitcoins mempol throws errors for those addresses
this means that mempool can block incoming transactions that try to send puzzle 66 to new addresses because it will be evaluated as a crypto attack and cryptographic protection will be turned on
the goal should be for mempool to start throwing other transactions from other bots overboard xd
I don't know, I haven't tried it, it just occurred to me, you have to test it yourself
This is not an attack on cryptography, no matter how it looks. In the blockchain, the owner of the address is the one who has the private key to the address. And the possibility of RBF is correct. Imagine that you accidentally (by mistake) sent 5 bts with a very low commission, and no one takes it into the block. And what should you do, well, of course RBF, otherwise you will wait a long time until someone mines it.here's how you should do it, by some miracle you solve the 66 address puzzle, then you create a transaction, then a second later you start your own bot that starts creating new transactions for the 66 addresses you have access to, the goal is to flood the blockchain with transactions

Well, I successfully beat any bots that were still in the game.
Thanks for creating the competition, but to be honest I expected more from it.
Expectation: battle of bots, background techniques, unknown technique for starting the first outgoing transaction...
Reality: starting fee 26% of balance, 1-2 bots
It was already clear that if you give a quarter of your balance as fee, then the probability that bots will beat the transaction is quite low.
And if the bot is really greedy, then it can turn 100% of balance into fee and then definitely win. LoL

669sat per byte - guys, are you serious?
You can't check the distance between a tame and wild because that would mean you already know the answer to the problem. The wild distance is relative to the unknown position of the public key.
You can easily calculate the distance between kangoroos. Distance is not a number, but a public key, or more precisely a point on a curve, or rather, x coordinate of point and the table for comparing the results is a table of x coordinates. The only problem is that the table size is limited by the memory size, and it is unlikely that you can achieve a size larger than 2^40 x coordinates in table.My noob bot struggling to see at least balance <= 0 and stuck here..

You need to save the UTXO before the first outgoing transaction. As soon as the transaction is outgoing(even not confirmed), request for UTXO will return 0.https://www.talkimg.com/images/2024/07/20/4E5Xv.png
Maybe it's mind game, all bot busy for find test , and newly bots maybe also block by ping many times, and in background they play real 66 bit puzzle transaction 
A professional bot definitely does not use mempool.space or similar APIs. It uses its own node, so blocking is only for inexperienced bots that use third-party APIs.I think @WanderingPhilospher forgot us lol...
Hope he's doing ok
He's pretty smart and I think his competition makes sense to test some techniques that allow coins to be transferred safely rather than to show that coins can be easily stolenHope he's doing ok
