The following script allows everyone to spend; the shorter your signature the earlier you can spend.

OP_SIZE
OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY OP_DROP

OP_CHECKSIGVERIFY

The point R = 1/2 G has the smallest known x coordinate -- x = 0x3b78ce563f89a0ed9414f5aa28ad0d96d6795f9c63. If the public key is chosen P = 1 G then the ECDSA signature becomes s=2(H(m)+x). So, the smaller H(m) the smaller s (as long as it is bigger than x ~ 2^165). Thus, the above output is spendable by the miner mining the lowest TX hash.

Tested on Workplace for Android version 362.0.0.29.109. This approach might work in other Facebook/Meta applications. Thank you Imre Rad for helping me analyze the binary.

How does it work?

The Workplace Android app uses the Fizz open source TLS-1.3 library to communicate with the backend APIs. This library is written in C++, and is compiled to native code. It is running as a native library attached to the Android app.

The certificate verification is implemented in fizz/client/ClientProtocol.cpp, on line 1944. The easiest way to bypass this check is to patch the if (state.verifier()) { check on line 1942.

	There are many tutorials on the web that explain how to build a
	simple hello world in C without the libc on AMD64, but most of them
	stop there.

	I will provide a more complete explanation that will allow you to
	build yourself a little framework to write more complex programs.
