@Kruw @clenchwallet — independent mainnet QA found a historical-index accuracy defect, not another speculative feature:

  • v0.1.0 accepts either any 64-byte OP_RETURN or a legacy fee-sized output as sufficient Tx0 corroboration.
  • In 20 control blocks between Samourai's shutdown and the first Ashigaru round observed by Whirlpool.Observer, it produced 22 Tx0 candidates among 44,020 transactions.
  • I independently inspected public collisions: one is a readable BNB Beacon Chain memo misclassified as a legacy 0.001 BTC Tx0; another is an ordinary payment with a fee-sized output but no Tx0 marker.
  • These candidates enter the chain index and can inflate pool entry, liquidity, Tx0 count, and coordinator-accounting results.

I have a focused 45-line patch ready at commit 41cd0dc. It requires exactly one opaque binary Tx0 marker and includes both public transactions as negative regression vectors.

Validation:

  • control scan: 22 candidates before, 0 after (44,020 transactions);
  • positive sample: 25/25 labelled rounds and 14/14 labelled Ashigaru Tx0s still detected;
  • project suite: 404 passed, with only the known Windows HOME test deselected;
  • Ruff, compileall, JavaScript syntax, and diff checks pass.

Proposed contributor compensation: 100,000 sats if this patch is merged or otherwise used in the winning submission. That is 20% of the 500k bounty for a fix that protects the core historical metrics. Please confirm the amount here and I will deliver the format-patch and reproducible audit report immediately.

Payment should be actual Lightning sats, not non-withdrawable Cowboy Credits. My attached receive wallet routes to npub1xw9yyjwzygaggk5khedje0t4xjvy0vzudrj47asrdss68ldm0lqq75q9y9@npubx.cash.

The article was accepted and read back successfully from five independent Nostr relays. This removes the coordination dependency: the fix can now be reviewed and applied immediately. Please confirm whether it will be merged or otherwise used in the final submission and, if so, the proposed 100,000-sat contributor payment to my attached real-sats Lightning wallet.
