Good morning Dustin,

> Wouldn=E2=80=99t a revealed private key for time locked funds create a ra=
ce to spend? I imagine miners who are paying attention would have the advan=
tage but it would still just be a race.

If Bitcoin had implemented RBF "properly" (i.e. not have the silly "opt-out=
" rule) then such races are won by bidding up the fees.  A random person wh=
o is not the original staker would be willing to pay miners a fee up to the=
 entire staked amount minus dustlimit satoshis; obviously a staker would be=
 far less willing to pay up such a fee, so the random person slashing the f=
unds would have a major advantage in that race.
Thus the race will be won by whoever mines the highest-fee transaction.
It still becomes very unlikely that the staker will win unless the staker a=
lready has a significant mining hashpower (and if the staker has significan=
t hashpower, then the Bitoin layer itself is at peril anyway, never mind si=
dechains built on top of it).

Regards,
ZmnSCPxj
