Post by: ACCTseller on August 04, 2015, 10:59:39 PM The inputs were from one of the first blocks that satoshi had mined in 2009. The transaction was not actually signed by the private keys associated with the address that contains the unspent outputs used for the transaction. Somehow someone was able to trick blockchain.info into accepting this (and other) invalid transactions.
I think this is just one (of many) example as to why you should use a full node when trying to determine the "balance" of an address, or when inquiring about the status of a transaction. |
