[~1 BTC Bounty]

[leventturksoy]

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.

[leventturksoy]

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

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 highly doubt that, BlueWallet uses the same MIT License as Bitcoin Core:

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.

It's been 2 months since the halving, if you have any interest in helping me please do contact me!

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://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5192454.msg53728095#msg53728095

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.

[pooya87]

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 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

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.

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!

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!!

Someone did this in tesnet: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5278860.0

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

Maybe the offer could become more appealing after a couple halvings. OP could also try raising the issue on github, hopefully Bitcoin Core could be updated to remedy this problem.

i seriously doubt anything about bitcoin core is going to change unless there is an overwhelming number of similar cases that have lost their coins to this type of non-standard scripts.
although i think the change itself is very easy (possibly it needs changing one line of code), the addition of an option to let the user enable/disable through command line may not be.

I still don't see the point, unless it (accepting non-standard script) is enabled by default. Bitcoin Core already have some option such as changing minrelayfee, but i almost never hear people intentionally change it.
