can someone tell me if beating snipers on a token launch will work via alchemy websockets for pending blocks and submitting a order with tons of max gas? or is it more complicated than this?

Technically speaking it should come down to gas war bidding provided you are inside of the same block but on L2s you are at the mercy of the sequencer to order the tx's.

Im the guy that posted all those factory memes once

ahhhh that makes sense, yeah i’m pretty confident i can get in the same block with my current pipeline

FID: 11539, Neynar .93, Growing /berkeley /seek /411 to onboard IRL CREATORS for trust in AI & Web3. 🌍🔥 ♻️🎨 https://rodeo.club/@allenbarth

It appears if the token is ERC721 & the id order matters, then to reduce gas wars, people go ahead to sign up tomorrow, then later a combination of the account's(fid, spam label, Neynar, rewards won, etc) are used to disqualify the snipers. Those with low reputation are reassigned near 10,000 token id numbers. All 10,000 owners can vote(consensus) on a chosen method.

How does this sound?

With block times at two seconds it's very doable. Hardest part is minimizing gas costs because there exists an optimal between max gas, fun fact there is a max you can bid, and the actual cost of first place.

You also need to keep in mind that snipers do all kinds of precalc work to get into the first place slot and win the snipe.
