I am in search of a pool looking for free money.

You can make an auction for the private key of 34dqaqvQNWMgbMJmmxVa8LeGz7St6ATT97 addy...
he has already done that in a much better way which is to place the reward as a high transaction fee. the 0.27 bitcoin is currently worth nearly $2500 which he could increase in the same manner (bumping the fee).
if a miner wanted to accept the offer they could just include the transaction in their next block they mine and claim its fee. others that aren't miners can't do anything about it.
Well this depends on how you look at it.
There can also be a problem as follows, suppose i manage to push this tx into the network, then it will be mined by some unknown miner, or pool, which will get a high .27 fee, then he will be happy, and the OP will be happy to see that he regained access to his funds, but i will be here empty handed.
the only ones that could solve OPs issue are the pool operators (or theoretically a solo miner who runs their own node) and they have to disable standard rules or remove the SCRIPT_VERIFY_WITNESS_PUBKEYTYPE flag from their policy.
you as an individual can not do this!

If 0.27 isn't enough, then what is? I'm seriously considering bumping the fee, but I don't see that as a make it or break it saving move.
possibly 6.25 since according to what @kano said in previous page the miners may be worried that the block they find (which would give them 6.25 bitcoin reward + whatever fee) could become invalid and rejected by the rest of the network!!

The way he is doing it he can only deal with miners... The way i proposed any user could be interested.
I know the only way to fix this is by making the miners put the transaction in the block, but if the goal for OP is to recover the coins then there is another solution

The BTC is still sitting in my wallet.
I know you are trying to deal with mines, but there is another way you can recover some of that money, let me offer a solution.
I know this will sound crazy, but for crazy problems crazy solutions. You can make an auction for the private key of 34dqaqvQNWMgbMJmmxVa8LeGz7St6ATT97 addy... Just like selling an old car with some engine problems. Maybe some people or even miners could make an offer... I recommend to start it from 1BTC and a signed message with the 34dq private key.
The right place to do it is in:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=73.0
And i would add this post to let people know about the main problem of that address.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53728095
That's what i would do if i were in your shoes, good luck and i hope you can recover at least some of that money.

It's been 2 months since the halving, if you have any interest in helping me please do contact me!
Legal action is virtually not even an option. I would feel as if the core devs are more responsible than anyone else for even letting this be a possibility.
bitcoin core developers don't own the right to developing bitcoin! and they dictate what other people hash to get their scripts. there has been a lot of cases where people simple hash a wrong encoded public key, hash a broken redeem script,... and end up with unspendable coins. at least the OP's case is just a non-standard case not invalid one.
I am the OP. And I understand that, however, this specific situation could have easily been avoided, both on my part, and the developers.

that means they are responsible for app programming errors if they cost you money.

Even large software corporations get away with bugs that cause much more damage.
Old version of Bluewallet for iOS (Android also had the bug) it let me create it without error-catching it.
They refuse to own up to their mistakes or even acknowledge it.

Sue them!
They are entitled to the profit they made from the app, and that means they are responsible for app programming errors if they cost you money.
I'll bump my offer up to 0.5 BTC for any pool who can mine it.
I'll up this even more as needed, please contact me if you can help

This is depressing 
if you really want to give such a big reward then maybe you should create an additional transaction and put the entire 1 bitcoin reward in that new transaction itself instead of the current smaller reward of 0.27 bitcoin that the tx in your first post offers.
I'm open to negotiate with pools, I have offered more to many pools but still it seems like the associated risk can't be measured accurately enough for them to take my offer.

Don't worry for the future.
Right now, maybe the chances are slim, but with each coming halving your proposal is going to be more and more appealing.
