Unsuccessful Bitcoin Script Execution: Seeking Assistance

Question

I attempted to mint SATS tokens on the Bitcoin network using the Ordinals protocol and BRC20 standards by utilizing an intermediary software written in the Go language. I made no adjustments to the software and it likely sent raw data directly. My intention was to execute 500 repetitive minting transactions without being aware of the 25 transaction limit.

However, I encountered the following error:

"Send error, reveal send error, 25 transaction hashes could not be parsed, sendrawtransaction RPC error: {"code":-26,"message":"too-long-mempool-chain, too many descendants for tx 369a184f3e941a501b99a2865f6c1db09f39af379ef8c63fb52689e37e3376a7 [limit: 25]"}: maximum hash string length is 64 bytes."

As a result of this error, only 25 out of my 500 transactions were successful in executing the Bitcoin command. The remaining 475 transactions did not consume the sent ‎0,00002914 btc, and consequently, the tokens I minted did not reach me.

Is there anything I can do for Bitcoin script that did not fulfill their task? https://mempool.space/tx/369a184f3e941a501b99a2865f6c1db09f39af379ef8c63fb52689e37e3376a7

The blockchain has your original transaction 369a...76a7 with 500 outputs plus change.

As shown above, the blockchain also has 25 of your intended 500 subsequent transactions. Those 25 have inscriptions in their inputs (consuming 25 of the 500 outputs of your original transaction 369a...76a7):

So I guess you should submit the remaining 475 transactions, possibly in groups of 25 if your tools have that restriction.

In this situation I would replicate the situation in testnet, not in mainnet, and then test out creating the remaining transactions one at a time on testnet. I would only use mainnet after being completely satisfied with the results in testnet.

As I commented, I am not an expert in Ordinals, Inscriptions or BRC-20. Do this entirely at your own risk.

Addendum.

The outputs of the original transaction are P2TR (taproot) so the transactions that spend those need to include three witness components as shown in What are the scriptPubKey, scriptSig, redeem script and witness for the various output types? . The BRC-20 inscriptions are made in the second witness item.

Some more details can be found in various places such as How to differentiate between BTC transactions and BRC20 transactions on a blockchain? , the Taproot BIPs and the documentation for BRC-20 and ordinals inscription.

If you don't have an easy way of doing this, you may find it easiest to write off the transaction or spend the Bitcoin amounts with a normal wallet.

I apologize for any misunderstandings, as I only began researching these topics after encountering this issue. If there are any mistakes in my understanding, please correct me. Should I send the transaction in the following format? For example: Input: txid: 369a184f3e941a501b99a2865f6c1db09f39af379ef8c63fb52689e37e3376a7 (Transaction ID with 500 outputs) index: 26 amount: 0.00002914 txid: 369a184f3e941a501b99a2865f6c1db09f39af379ef8c63fb52689e37e3376a7 index: 27 amount: 0.00002914 Outputs: My wallet address and the output amount. Is the output amount significant?@RedGrittyBrick — 216kedi, Sep 14 '23 at 16:03
@216kedi: I think you are on the right track but I am not an expert in Ordinals, Inscriptions or BRC-20. Do this entirely at your own risk. — RedGrittyBrick, Sep 14 '23 at 16:34
Your invaluable help is appreciated. After days of research, I'm still a bit confused. Is it necessary to include witness info in the new transaction, or simply the scriptPubKey? If witness info is required, please explain the roles of Item 1 and Item 3 in your example. My script generates new wallets for each minting transaction. Do I need their private keys to resend unexecuted outputs, or can I use my main wallet's key with 500 outputs? Lastly, could you demonstrate how to create the raw code for a single operation? Thanks! @redgrittybrick — 216kedi, Sep 17 '23 at 14:18
See addendum to answer. You may get better help in a BRC-20 forum. — RedGrittyBrick, Sep 17 '23 at 17:00
I read so much and was confused that I didn't know what to do. The mint process is about to reach its final limit, I think I've lost this fight. Thanks so much for your help. @redgrittybrick — 216kedi, Sep 18 '23 at 16:50
