Title: sending rawtransaction in bitcoin testnet (double spend)
Post by: Armin van Bruggen on November 04, 2016, 10:21:25 AM
After reading this article: http://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-clear-a-stuck-bitcoin-transaction/ (http://bitzuma.com/posts/how-to-clear-a-stuck-bitcoin-transaction/) I would like to try a double spending (in bitcoin testnetwork). Creating the transaction and signing it wasn't a problem. Now I'm looking for a way to send the second transaction (the first one was sent with 0.00000000 fee), now I would need to resent the transaction with a fee, so it get's processed by the testnet network of bitcoin. How to submit now these second transaction? All services I tried blocked this transaction. As the article says: We can’t publish this new transaction using Coinbin because it will be rejected as a double spend.

It got rejected because the the node(s) those services are relying on still have the first transaction. You'll have to wait until they drop it.

In case I want to get this transaction appear too in the network without the first transaction being dropped/processed by the network, how can I do so?

In case I want to get this transaction appear too in the network without the first transaction being dropped/processed by the network, how can I do so? Unconfirmed transactions rarely gets dropped by the entire network. There can be more than 1 identical unconfirmed transactions in the network, but not in a nodes mempool. As long as a node doesn't have the first transaction, it can accept the second transaction and will try to relay it to the rest of the network. So to answer your question (replacing the word "network" with "nodes"), you can't. BTW RBF pretty much erased the need to manually double spending a transaction because they're stuck. Use RBF instead.

@Jhanzo
First of all, thanks for this detailed answer!
Let me try, what I would like to do, please check this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtGzV_-agcI (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtGzV_-agcI)
I would like to built the same, but open source the code. I'm running bitcoin-classic daemon on my ubuntu server. Now I'm looking for a description how to "double spend" the coins I received from a user (first transaction with no fee, second transaction with small fee, so user receives his depoisted amount nearly full back and a double spend was done). I would like to use testnet for whole script.
Could you explain me how to process the transactions (I know how to create & sign them), but how to send them now?

Isn't there a way to use the bitcoin daemon I run on a server in testnetmode to send a double spend transaction?

Would be fine if you could show me how to do this using bitcoind command set: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list Would drop you a tip if working of course ;)

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list
Would drop you a tip if working of course ;) I can not. I never used bitcoin client for sending transactions. I gave you a program written in C++ for broadcasting raw transactions for a number of nodes. (Sorry, I havent't looked the sources for a couple of years - the program works and there is no reason to remember how ;D )
