Ordinal – Bitcoin script execution failure: Asking for help

Is there anything I can do about Bitcoin scripts failing to do their jobs?

The blockchain has original transactions 369a…76a7 with 500 outputs and change.

As shown above, there are 25 of the intended 500 subsequent transactions on the blockchain. Those 25 have an inscription on the input (consuming 25 of the 500 outputs of the original transaction 369a…76a7).

So I think you should submit the remaining 475 transactions. If your tools have limitations, you can also group them into 25 groups.

In this situation, we replicate the situation on the testnet rather than the mainnet, and then test the remaining transactions by generating them one at a time on the testnet. We will only use the mainnet once we are completely satisfied with the testnet results.

As I mentioned, I’m not an expert on ordinal numbers, inscriptions, or BRC-20. You are solely responsible for doing this.

Appendix.

The output of the original transaction is a P2TR (taproot), so a transaction that uses it must include three watchdog components: scriptPubKey, scriptSig, redemption script, and What are watchdogs for different output types? . The BRC-20 inscription is written on the second witness entry.

More information can be found in various places, including How to Distinguish between BTC and BRC20 Transactions on the Blockchain. , documentation for Taproot BIP and BRC-20 and ordinal inscriptions.

If there is no easy way to do this, canceling the transaction or using the Bitcoin amount with a regular wallet may be the easiest method.
