I've been trying to claim some but the wallet hasn't synced yet still so I can't see if I've successfully claimed any, but I generated a bunch of addresses in the wallet then used 'pay to many' to send 546 sats to each mining address, with a decent fee. Is there a better way?
as far as i can understand, only 1 claim per block, and your tx has to be the first bc1 tx in the block to get the claim.
so claiming several in 1 tx wont work.
the best way would be when the blocks are more empty, and the sat/byte for the first bc1 tx is cheaper. you can also scout the mempool and overcut the highest bc1 tx so yours can be first. (this is because most miners put the tx's in order of highest fee first)
so ideally when the mempool is empty or more specifically bc1 tx are really cheap sat/byte then you can attempt to claim once per block.
if your tx is the first bc1 tx in the block then i understand your claim should be successful.
natasha can chime in and explain if im correct or not.
ive noticed some irregular mempool activity today, and some of those where tx's of 546 sats to bc1 addresses, coming from a binance wallet.
so seems like someone attempted to claim or it could of been them moving combs since that would require sending to 21 addresses.
im still learning myself, so feel free to correct me, just sharing what i think is going on.
For some reason I thought you only had to outbid another Comb claimer for the fee to be first in the block but I just realised there would be no way to tell the difference between them right? But that sounds like it could get expensive since some people use high fees. I just used the slider on Electrum and ended up paying between 0.50 and $5 per tx. And yeah I saw the mempool thing too but seems unlikely since they moved so much?
Ah, I tried claiming some anyway I guess I'll just wait for the faucet if there ever is one unless anyone is selling then I will buy some. Guess we'll see what happens
