I see. I guess mempool matters most when the mint is triggered by an on-chain action by the devs. For IDOs, such action would be the fist liquidity-add by the team, and one would be screwed if not relying on a validator node or on Snowsight.

I am happy that Crabada.py was of inspiration for you. On my side, I thoroughly enjoyed your write-ups on the looting & battle bots. You have grit, determination and skill.

Do you also write smart contracts, or just do scripting?

For sure. I was actually going to look into snowsight before the recent mint competition rule changes that made that less useful =)

I do a little smart contract stuff but it's mainly for exploratory reasons. I'm not building anything serious.

Sent you a friend req on Discord.

Very interesting read, and thank you for the reference to Crabada.py!

I am building an IDO sniper and many of your optimization tips apply to it as well.

Have you tried using Snowsight or your own validator node instead of the public RPC? That should help.

Big fan of your project, I took a lot of inspiration from it when I was building my own crabada bot.

I'm familiar with snowsight but haven't used it; for many mint types it's not necessary to have mempool access, and there are alternatives to the tx propagator.

It would still be useful of course, but for a lot of the mints I was participating in, just too expensive to justify the cost.
