Thank you guys for explanation.

Hello there.

The address 34MSicAL7qVGkevFPLwyc9KohGzoUSnu3Q is a 2-of-3 multisig address.

Its public keys are 036c75675da3fdc06a9e6940b4af97a856eb8801ed9b8c77941ac397f0abda5acc, 02502e76bc019532f74e0dad286477ccecacc1fc74695949ff368742fe9a5b4051 and 033960592197eeb6a199804eefc7e5db45c6570cea6e503d8616ccf939c691cd25

The redeem script is 5221036c75675da3fdc06a9e6940b4af97a856eb8801ed9b8c77941ac397f0abda5acc2102502e7 6bc019532f74e0dad286477ccecacc1fc74695949ff368742fe9a5b405121033960592197eeb6a1 99804eefc7e5db45c6570cea6e503d8616ccf939c691cd2553ae

I hope this helps 

These types of addresses(P2SH) do not use public keys. It is a locking and unlocking script. It specifies the conditions under which funds can be spent. It can be a custom script or a standard one, such as multisig.

Guys i confused about this address :

https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/addresses/btc/34MSicAL7qVGkevFPLwyc9KohGzoUSnu3Q

here there are some outgoing transactions but
here say this address has not any public key

https://blockchain.info/q/pubkeyaddr/34MSicAL7qVGkevFPLwyc9KohGzoUSnu3Q


may someone explain this to me please?

With "pool miner" I mean someone with mining gear participating in mining in a public mining pool (which MARA pool isn't) where anybody can mine its shares for the pool to find a block.

Why would a miner in a public pool need the whole block template? He needs only the 80 bytes of the blockheader, not all the block's transactions!

As long as the number and sequence of transactions in the to be mined template block aren't changed by the pool operator the Merkle Tree Root Hash in the blockheader doesn't change and a miner only needs the short blockheader where all transactions are condensed to the Merkle Tree Root Hash.

A pool miner can then hash crunch varying the nonce and maybe also the block time. Actually I'm not sure if a pool miner also fiddles with the extra nonce field of the coinbase transaction. If yes, he would need the whole Merkle Tree branches proofs to properly construct the resulting Merkle Tree Root Hash for the blockheader. Not sure if this is done in public pool mining as you would allow a stranger (pool miner) to construct the Coinbase transaction. The Coinbase transaction isn't signed with a private key as its input isn't a previous transaction output.

I think I know how mining works, maybe not the very inner mechanics of pool mining software for sure, though. Correct me, if I'm wrong, always eager to learn Bitcoin's details properly.

Often, I don't have the necessary concentration to read all the posts carefully. This is especially true when the topics involve unicorns, magic circles, magical math, and looking into a crystal ball to see how the winning transaction will reach its destination.

What is the topic here? Do you even read all the posts here? Do you still think that as soon as you get the puzzle 66 key, the money is yours?

How to reduce the off-topic in this thread?

They have a public key for every possible transaction and likely a fully automated processing system. Manual intervention only occurs if someone complains; otherwise, the logs are reviewed and entries are made. In such large companies, there are multiple layers of protection, including from the employees themselves. You can't fart in there unnoticed in such an environment. I know this because I worked in a similar company.

You would increase your chances, but you will still be dependent on the honesty of the marapool miners, since they can apply rbf, even if the transaction is not broadcast, the marapool miners have access to your public key before mining the block.

Or in other words, any bot which pings the mempool is useless..Or dead for the one who uses this service.
The only thing that matters is how much money you will give MARAPOOL for this service. And that's it.

from Mara slipstream FAQ

Will Marathon censor transactions?
Marathon supports innovation and aims to broaden Bitcoin’s transaction capabilities within the bounds of Bitcoin Core’s consensus rules. Transactions submitted via Slipstream are subject to Marathon’s terms of service, which prohibit unauthorized copyrighted material and objectional material. However, transactions submitted to Bitcoin’s peer-to-peer network are not subject to Marathon’s terms and conditions and are processed under the standard rules of the Bitcoin protocol.

To view our terms of service, please see the 'TERMS' tab.



Are my transactions private?
Before they are mined, yes. Your transactions are not broadcasted to the Bitcoin network until they have received at least one confirmation. Once mined, your transaction will live on the public Bitcoin ledger.


Do other mining pools offer the same service?
No, other mining pools typically do not offer a service similar to Slipstream in a standardized, accessible manner. While some mining pools may accept transactions through less formal channels like email or direct messaging on social media platforms, these methods often involve a manual, personalized quote process with no official structure. In contrast, Slipstream provides a standardized solution that streamlines the process of accepting direct transactions, making it a unique offering for Bitcoin users.

If the public key has not been seen in the mempool, is this the end of bots?

Nope, they censor their transactions. MARA's Marathon Slipstream business model allows people to submit their non-standard transactions (manually) at a higher fee rate with no questions asked. This is ideal for the Puzzle 66 case because the public key will be censored until the transaction is mined. After that, it's too late.  

I am not sure if they are a public pool. When I say public, I mean publicly traded.

I can't find anywhere to join there mining pool, so I am not sure that anyone can. But if anyone else sees or finds this differently, please post.

Obviously, no one has solved it yet.

it doesn't matter at all. A public key is directly related to the Private key, regarless the type of address.

is it matter for keyhunt that public key is from which type of address ? address start with 1 or 3 or bc

And what other choice do we have?
You can go regularly and run into 100 bot games, which is an even worse risk, or find something else
similar to MARAPOOL, which is hard to find, and if it is found, nothing is ever 100% safe.
