Sorry for the extremely long time until Part 2. ArtBotter.io is going through a rebrand/upgrade and isn't available right now. When the new one is launched, I will make part 2!
great vid, thanks dude. this approach worked perfectly. tip: add exit(0) and exit(1) conditions according to your `balanceOf` vs the `totalSupply` on any standard 721 contract. That way you can exit when you've minted enough etc.
Awesome video, looking forward to part 2. The bit about creating your own gas oracle for spikes will probably save me some costly trial and error. Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial! FlashBots has its advantages for stuff like arbitrages. But for anyone willing to do a hyped public mint with it I want to save you time - the reality is that it's just too slow. I spent quite some time to discover that myself and also to confirm it by other people. Maybe in future if there are more FB miners that will improve.
just a quick question, if you have to wait for a couple of blocks to pass until the miner gets its turn to mine 18:30 wouldn't you miss the NFT drop altogether?
This is awesome. But normally a mint contract will check if the current block.timestamp>=start_time. So the question is can flashbots get to this first block?
What happens if for example you set the gas too low on a high traffic NFT mint and it failed? If I'm understanding correctly, that would be discarded and have zero cost to the sender?
you are amazing thankyou for this! also when you get the hex data and set your max gas , are you setting it per mint cost or per amount of nfts you want to buy from the hex data you copied
Hello! I've started learning coding to eventually build NFT bots and flashbots. What language do you think I should learn first? Is python any good before I try solidity? Should I change to js? Should I do solidity immediately? Thank you :)
Scott so I have a question. When we are on the test net it tries to put the transaction on multiple blocks and I understand that because not all nodes accept the bundle this will happen more on the test net. The question is when switched to main net do we have to make the bot exit after it gets added to a block? Could this ever lead to processing more than one transaction if we do not exit? I am just not clear on when the bot should exit because it was successful.
flashbots routes your transaction directly to miners instead so that they don't sit in the memory pool all transactions go to (makes it easy for bots to detect your transaction and front run it if it is a profitable one)
Hi there, a security question: can you please explain the recent issue on Opensea, an Item is displayed at a price of 0.07eth on the collection but if you click "buy now" button without verifying the price you will pay is much higher like 0.75eth, these two prices are item price not due to any gas fees. a lot of people are using this to scam and make money. I'm available if you need any examples related to this exploit
Im trying to do somethignvery similar but in sepolia testnet, i managed to do normal txs wirh etherjs but when try to do with flashbot i get errors, searching the web for help i see alot of ppl with same problems, so ihope it may be a sepolia internal error, i will try using goerli but i read its already deprecated, any tip so i can continue learning to use flashbots txs?
Hi! Great tutorial! Few questions: 1. Will your transaction via flashbots get ahead of normal transaction because the transaction won't be in the mempool? So, will you be first to every nft sale if your bot is running at the exact time the sale starts? 2. What happens when you run the bot on an nft mint contract that hasn't started yet? Can you just leave the bot and it will automatically mint as soon as minting starts? 3. Do you have to set a high gas fee (as most of nft sales end up in gas war) or is this not necessary because we use flashbots? Thanks in advance! :)
Amazing video but there is only one issue, I couldn't get the method hex code from projects that aren't live yet So when i connected my metamask to etherscan and clicked on "Write" under MintToken, I got an error message saying: "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'methods')" and metamask didn't open, so is there another way to get this hex code before the nft project launch?
You need to "Connect to Web3" and in Metamask "Connected" (and sometimes you need to refresh once those are clicked). It's a mistake I made twice in this video, too! Before quickly clicking that button
hi am a beginner so and am trying to play with this code...when I click run on VSC i get the following error "Cannot launch program because corresponding JavaScript cannot be found. any hits on what i could be missing? thanks in advance and for the awesome video
hey Scott do you have also video about if a person can send tokens and NFTs from hacked wallet to another wallet and pay fee from destination wallet since as soon as one is adding crypto in hacked wallet it wipedout immediately..
The get larger "transaction fees" (via the internal coinbase payments). Leaking is a problem that needs to be monitored, it's something Flashbots watches for and takes seriously.
You're right, I glossed over that. I added a single sentence description to the code repo available here: github.com/flashbots/searcher-minter#how-to-run Let me know if that is clear or if I need to add more info

Hey thanks for sharing. I tried to run the demo code using my wallet that has been topped up with Goerli wallet. The program seems to be running fine, printing all the new blocks on the terminal and no error message. But it seems only 1 trx every 5+ printed blocks got through. any idea what might be the reason ? thanks
PoS still assigns transaction sorting and selection to someone that has full control over their block. So long as someone has control for a block, there is the possibility of improving communication between bots and that person, regardless of how that person is chosen.
@@GildedHonour this is still being developed, but there are benefits and drawbacks. There should be significantly more participants, so getting them incentive aligned is more difficult. However, the miner of a block should be known far enough ahead of time that you can target which single PoS validator gets bundle flow, instead of sending to all miners ahead of time, since you don’t know who will win the hash race.

Have you managed to test it on live NFT project on mainnet? Or even on your on project on Goerli network? My transactions simply get reverted
Thank you for your content Scott. Keep up the good work.
Really cool stuff. Great explanation as well. I gotta check out flashbots
lets all hope part 2 is in the pipeline
Scott, will you create a 2nd part?
Great tutorial! Looking forward to part 2 !!!
just a quick question, if you have to wait for a couple of blocks to pass until the miner gets its turn to mine 18:30 wouldn't you miss the NFT drop altogether?
Excited for part 2. I told my friend about it for an nft drop. He got it but i didn't lol
This is awesome. But normally a mint contract will check if the current block.timestamp>=start_time. So the question is can flashbots get to this first block?
part 2 please you are doing great job appreciate that
If I have 0 eth in the metamask wallet for test network would transaction still show up on etherscan??
Could you please do one in Python language for the python-user audience? Would really appreciate it.
Awesome tutorial I was looking forward to something like this! When is part 2 coming out?
yup. more please!!!
definitely looking forward to part 2, this is super awesome!
I’m looking forward to part 2 as well. Thank you for this education!
I am also waiting... Thanks!💪
Part 2 comes out when star citizen is released
great content. I am looking forward to your new update.
this was awesome scott, thx for the alpha :)
Hi,
Could I use this to get into presales of NFT games???
Thanks a lot for the informative video! Enjoyed watching it :)
What happens if for example you set the gas too low on a high traffic NFT mint and it failed? If I'm understanding correctly, that would be discarded and have zero cost to the sender?
if you set gas too low and it fails you will not get the NFT and you will still have to pay the gas fee you sent, the gas would be eaten up
are there flashbots to mint on solana?
you are amazing thankyou for this! also when you get the hex data and set your max gas , are you setting it per mint cost or per amount of nfts you want to buy from the hex data you copied
More videos like that pleeeeeeeeeeease! There is not a lot of info around this anywhere.

Scott if your bundle gets into multiple blocks can it be processed multiple times and deducted from your wallet?
Hey Scott. What's the difference between submitting an NFT mint as a flashbot transaction rather than normally? Could you please provide pros/cons?
lol watch the vid

Nice, is there a similar way to do this on Solana?
could i use the same code to mint the solana bots?
Have you got any solution for BSC?
Thank you for sharing ;)
Thanks
Is there also a mint bot for cardano?
Can flashbots be used with python?
does it work for BSC?
What is the IDE you are using?
IntelliJ IDEA (WebStorm) in Presentation Mode.

Hey Scott, part 2 🛴🛴
Anyone got the error "err: transaction type not supported"
Hi scott ! thank you!, i have a question , falshbots works on bsc too?
No, Flashbots requires integration with the miner/validator, and no BSC miners run the special software (called mev-geth) that allows this.
what IDE or editor are u using?
IntelliJ / Webstorm (Jetbrains)
anyone find a solution for not being able to parse through a private key?
Could we get the part two bro?

With adoption of Proof of stake, all that mechanism, including flashbots, will soon become obsolte and therefore stop to work. Not?
PoS still assigns transaction sorting and selection to someone that has full control over their block. So long as someone has control for a block, there is the possibility of improving communication between bots and that person, regardless of how that person is chosen.
@@epheph33 will then PoS affect nothing in a negative way, as far as flashbots and similar bots are concurned?
