Breaker of jpegs

A tool for increasing the off-by-one bug in ordinal explorers

How to break inscription numbers

On 2023-05-04 I introduced an off-by-one bug into ordinal explorers in the following bitcoin transaction: https://mempool.space/tx/c1e0db6368a43f5589352ed44aa1ff9af33410e4a9fd9be0f6ac42d9e4117151

The index.js tool in this repository will let you do the same thing. Here are the steps:

1. Clone this github repo: git clone https://github.com/supertestnet/breaker-of-jpegs.git
2. Enter the directory and make it a nodejs pacakge: cd breaker-of-jpegs && npm init -y
3. Ensure you are running node version 19.0.0. (I installed nvm and then ran nvm install 19.0.0 to do this.)
4. Install the dependencies: npm i crypto @cmdcode/buff-utils @cmdcode/crypto-utils @cmdcode/tapscript url prompt-sync
5. Modify your package.json and add this line to turn the package into a module: "type": "module", <-- add that line under "main": "index.js",
6. Run the app with node index.js
7. Send 10k sats to the bitcoin address it shows you
8. Enter the txid and vout of your transaction when it prompts you for that info
9. It will spit out two bitcoin transactions. Send both of them to a bitcoin miner to get them mined. Note that you cannot broadcast the transactions into your mempool because they are non-standard and nodes won't relay them. Instead, send them directly to a miner and ask them politely to inject them into their block template. Lots of mining pools have telegram channels or contact forms on their websites where you can do this. Ask me for help if you can't find a bitcoin miner on your own.
10. I got my transactions mined through f2pool. Their website has contact links such as email/twitter/telegram in their footer: https://www.f2pool.com/ -- so consider asking them to mine your transactions like they mined mine
