Title: Scam tag Request
Post by: r3wt on June 20, 2013, 10:23:21 AM
After defrauding myself out of .0165 bitcoins via a doublespend, i would like to nominate myself for a scam tag. being the honest man i am, i would like to apologize to myself in advance, forgive myself in the present tense, and learn from my mistakes in the future. you can read all about the transaction here

EDIT
The transaction went through. if your name/address was on the list, congrats i just sent you a penny.

a small explanation of what happened:

i sent all of the balance from my blockchain.info wallet to my electrum wallet. problem is i did the custom send with a fee of .001   of course the blockchain.info software being the halfbaked wonder it is never confirmed the tx. so i did what any nervous bitcoiner does. i dl'd the qt and the blockchain and imported my adddresses from electrum and from blockchain.info, and removed the unconfirmed transaction with pyWallet. i guess now everytime i send a transaction blockchain.info will recognize it as a double spend. IMO, the flaws of this online webwallet is a disservice to the community. as it can make a necessary doublespend out to be a malicious doublespend. if only they would have made it possible to destroy unconfirmed tx's from your wallet.dat, none of this would be a problem.
