A first-hand honeypot result: 10,000 sats placed on a Mk3 were swept 10 seconds after the deposit, and a pre-signed replace-by-fee transaction won the race at a 9,000 sat fee before the attacker rebid at 9,100. The poster's conclusion is that such a race can continue until the balance is burned in mining fees rather than recovered by either side. The same post promotes the account's own WatchGuard hardware, which is stated here because the result and the product claim arrive together. Self-reported: the linked transaction is checkable on chain, the 10-second timing is not.

This post is registered as evidence and has a locally held capture. The original remains the canonical publication.
