Hey, new to Bitcoin but I have a question that one of you may be able to help me understand.
Given the unfortunate event of puzzle#66
{
the real solver likely panic and tried to sweep the WIF using electrum (34 inputs and paying only 5.217/B)
the sniper within a minute made a clean TX (1 input and paying 406.356/B)
}
If saatoshi_rising used a static padding for low entropy puzzles (like #66)
-> "123456789abcdef123456789abcdef123456789abcdef12" + [2832ed74f2b5e35ee]
Would a sniper still be able to find the private key from the public key being exposed in the mempool within 2 block confirmations?
From my limited understanding this would not be possible because the pubkey would be from a 256-bit key, but maybe I am missing something.
Thanks!

Hey there, how can the "unfortunate event" have place? There's something I'm not getting about it. Could you please explain to me how could the sniper get the private key and snatch all the money on the address?
