I decide in my code 250~500 transactions with better fees and ~2500 with small fees and get ~4000transactions and try mine block. I think lucky your transaction faill

Nice to know, What you mean with " I think lucky your transaction faill" ? BTW edit your post and quote it correctly.

I’ll try to explain better.
In my btc_miner, using Bitcoin Core and an RPC connection, I have access to all unverified transactions.
In this mempool, for example, I have 15,000 transactions. It’s impossible to include all of them in the block for mining.
I have limited space, so I typically choose between 3,000 to 5,000 transactions to be included in the block.
To make it profitable, I select transactions with higher fees first and then add those with lower fees to the block.
Once the transactions are defined, along with the Merkle tree and the previous block hash, I attempt to find the nonce.
The goal is to find a SHA-256 double hash with 19 leading zeros within the 2^32 possible nonce values.
If a valid nonce isn’t found, the process restarts. The miner who discovers the nonce and submits it first wins.
Unfortunately, after 5 months, I haven’t been able to mine any block. I only have 3 RTX 3080 GPUs; I don’t have an ASIC machine.
Therefore, Alberto, it’s possible that the miner didn’t choose your transaction, even if it had a higher fee.

My bot found the key and I send 3 Transactions all accepted by mempool, but they weren't mined.

Hello everybody. In 2019, I create my firt btc_miner, in python and C and bitcoincore (personal project).
With my RTX-3080 i got 1.3 GHhash/s not bad
some code to select transactions in pool.

Code:

try:
   pc_connection = AuthServiceProxy(serverURL)
   mempool = rpc_connection.getrawmempool(True)
   alltxs = [(txid, tx['fees'], tx['unbroadcast'],tx['bip125-replaceable']) for txid, tx in mempool.items()]
   alltxs_sorted = sorted(alltxs, key=lambda x: x[1]['modified'], reverse=False)

except Exception as e:
time.sleep(10)
continue

# how many transactions i want (random)
nx = random.randint(3000, 5000)
tokens = alltxs_sorted[:nx]

txhashes = []
txs_hex = []

# fees
fees = 0
ntx1 = 0
pos_tx = 0

for txs in tokens:
pos_tx += 1
tx_hash = txs[0]
brod = txs[2]
taxa = txs[1]['modified']
repl = txs[3]
if brod == False:
try:
raw_tx = rpc_connection.getrawtransaction(tx_hash)
if repl == False and ntx1 < 4500:
....

I decide in my code 250~500 transactions with better fees and ~2500 with small fees and get ~4000transactions and try mine block. I think lucky your transaction faill

Did you or did Alberto make the btc_miner?

You can have your own mempool on your home machine. No one can block you in localhost. You can only DDoS Clearnet and Tor network.

I've already tweaked the number of connections a node can make. Grin

So you've setup your own Bitcoin node, have 5 computers, are worried about how many seconds of advantage you have and how many IPs to use to not get blocked, use your own mempool, and after all of this struggle you still invoke some 3rd party process to create and send your faith-based bumped-up TX consisting of a few hundred bytes? Jesus.

At least my excuse was that I was out of electricity last night. Bot was running for days. Bad luck.

No one needs some gigantic setup to run a bot. 400 lines of Python and a working kangaroo binary is enough.

Good.
My script is wrong, it's returning "balance error".

My setup it's just my keyhunt on WSL, and my python loopping.. I'll fix that up and made some tests...

Is anyone else concerned about digaran? Do you think he gave up Bitcointalk forum or just still active from different accounts?

He was last active on 20 January, 2024.

For all those who develop their own bots here are the main mistakes to avoid.

- Don't start your first transactions from a fixed fee.
- Don't increment a fixed amount.

To solve previous points you need to read what is the current fee in sat/vB and increment from that point, network only will accept transactions if those are +1 Sat/vB from previous know transactions.

Learn how to calculate your transaction size and set your fee multiplier this must done to try to maximize your possibilities to be accepted in mempool, without the need of burn all the fee.

What if the transactions have less or more inputs/outputs?
Let's say first TX has 900 bytes and some fee.
Would another transaction of 300 bytes, with less inputs, but a larger fee/byte, and so a smaller total fee, be accepted and replace the first TX?...

What if the first TX has input X among several inputs, and another TX only has X as input? What would the miners choose? It doesn't sound like an easy to solve problem.

Damn, guys. I had taken my bot offline a few hours before it all went down.

There was a mistake in my code pertaining the tx creation.

I've spotted the flaw while running a simulation with test-coins and was hoping to fix it in time. Oh well.

I have a hunch that mine would have been capable of detecting the tx correctly, but it wouldn't be able to submit any valid ones of it's own.

I'll spend the next few days rectifying everything and running more simulations.

guess the fork war also has bots for their blockchains,, a little one but has to be right.

tx bc16e7ce388d9.. was added to the block at 2024-07-28 09:42:12 (GMT +8) you only had one attempt at 2024-07-28 09:42:08 (GMT +8)

this is not all correct, that is the same Timestamp for the block mining:
Block 854265 - 2024-07-27 19:42:12 (GMT -6)

But since all the bots have enough time to get the publickey, calculate the private key and broadcast transactions, then we can assume that the original transactions was broadcasted somewhere after the previous Block 854264 2024-07-27 19:37:48 (GMT -6).

so whatever your plan is, you're not going to leave those bitcoins to the robots
in the worst case, you can burn all the bitcoins or actually spend for transaction fees, at least you will have a good feeling, if you don't have it, no one will have it xd
you can create a suicide transaction as a last resort

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.

I think that it should give you a more detailed error of why it fail.

I don't use electrum at this time ~~

my BOT is writed by python and bitcoinlib

about 6~7 second POST RawTX to https://mempool.space/api/tx

I think I gave away (POST RawTX) too often and didn’t calculate BTC/kvB properly.
