That’s exactly how bitcoins works.

As a miner, if I see two conflicting transactions I will prioritize the one which pays more rather than the one I saw first.

So can I avoid the attack by voluntarily paying a super high fee?

[baobabKoodaa]

The attacker can see what fee you are offering, so they just offer higher

[dartos]

Assuming it’s higher than the bot can post, yes.

[therein]

Yeah unless the miner favors the other transaction for personal reasons.
