Title: Electrum 1.8.1 Stuck on Block 251526
Post by: cryptocyprus on August 11, 2013, 01:38:28 PM
As per the title, no matter what server I reconnect to, it will not go past block 251526

I have tried all the servers
Deleted the contents of /appdata/Roaming/Electrum
Recovered the wallet using my seed & resynced

All to no avail, It will not let me send my balance out of the wallet giving the error -22

Any help is appreciated.

It is not your wallet that is the problem; The problem is on the Electrum Server(s)... this will need to be fixed in order to make Electrum clients functional again.

The exception we are seeing server-side is:
Code:

Thank you DigitalHermit, thought I would ask in here once I discovered a problem.
Hopefully it can be resolved quickly.

Title: Re: Electrum 1.8.1 Stuck on Block 251526
Post by: DigitalHermit on August 11, 2013, 06:18:31 PM
Code:
def script_GetOp(bytes):
  i = 0
  while i < len(bytes):
    vch = None
    opcode = ord(bytes[i])
    i += 1
    if opcode >= opcodes.OP_SINGLEBYTE_END:
      opcode <<= 8
      opcode |= ord(bytes[i])

Apparently there is an issue in script_GetOp(bytes) (deserialize.py) for this particular block that makes the electrum server code read off the end of the byte array when trying to read the operation. I don't know if this is an issue with the format of this specific block or with the python code. If it's an issue with the block format I'm surprised it has gone undetected this long - apparently bitcoind code permitted/accepted this block.

Are their some servers already which have fixxed the problem? A lot of bitcoins are now on bitcoin addresses on which I have no access!
I need the bitcoins AT THIS MOMENT.

I guess with some code wizardy you can export the private keys to bitcoind or multibit.

Looks like we got caught off-guard on a Sunday. Rest assured we're working on getting this fixed asap. The coins are safe. Just seeing new tx and spending coins is not possible at this time.

To Server operators:

The dumps at http://electrum-foundry.no-ip.org/leveldb-dump/?C=M;O=D  generated this morning around midnight have a clean, uncorrupted database to use once we have a fix to get past offending block 251526.

You can create a wallet at blockchain.info and import the private keys from your electrum wallet if you need access to your funds immediately. Otherwise, sadly yes you will have to wait for a fix.

I did some simple tests with tx from block 251526 and they are indexed just fine on a crashed server after the fix is applied. Unless the server throws "LevelDBError: Corruption" on startup as has been reported but might be unrelated it's sufficient to stop the server, pull git head and start the server.

So, is this him? Anyone can write something with a header saying from "From: Satoshi Nakamoto <satoshin@gmx.com>", but I can't picture someone searching through the entire commits history of bitcoin to find the relevant commit that matches what he's talking about (f1e1fb4bdef878c8fc1564fa418d44e7541a7e83, which does indeed exist and it is a commit by Satoshi). Satoshi, if you are reading this, add your digital signature next time, even if you are trying to be extra cautious it can't possibly do much harm.

Note that I mentioned (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255145.msg2766532#msg2766532) double-byte opcodes a few weeks ago on the forums; there's lots of people who know about this stuff and could have made that transaction.

I should also point out that the transaction appears to not only include a patch to fix Electrum, but at the same time also triggers the bug it patches. I think what happens is that the OP_INVALIDOPCODE triggers the broken double-wide code to advance a byte, ORing that byte with OP_INVALIDOPCODE << 8. Unfortunately that character is a PUSHDATA, which means that Electrum now processes the data as though it were opcodes. The next byte is 0x4e, or OP_PUSHDATA4, followed by the length of the data to be pushed, 0xffffffff=2^32 bytes. Of course there aren't 4GiB of data in the script, so it fails and Electrum gets stuck.

I think the OP_IF/OP_ENDIF was meant so that the transaction could be spent, but whomever did so forgot that PUSHDATA's > 520 bytes make a transaction invalid. Thus unless we change that limit - a hard-fork - the 15mBTC will be unspendable forever. (invalid opcodes are legal in an un-executed IF/ELSE/ENDIF branch, but oversized pushdata's are not)

I rather doubt that Satoshi would have made that mistake.  ;)

That's just a reference to the previous commit ID the patch is meant to apply too. If you save that patch to a file you can apply it with git am patch.diff, it was probably created with git format-patch from the looks of it.

How is "second bug" meant? How do you read the patch? It's still the same issue? I guess I'm missing something?

    Merge bitcointools upstream changes and update callers.


If I read the timestamp right that's less than 2 hours after the fix got included in the blockchain. That's rather quick and the change fixes other things with it. Too quick, but maybe he got a PM around the time it was accepted in the mempool at Eligius :)?

There appears to be a bug (regression) with servers not connected to IRC and Electrum > 1.7 . The client only shows the one server you're connected to, which is a problem if this is a server still stuck on 251526. It should show a list of built in servers.

To resolve this you manually have to enter one of the servers like:

electrum.be SSL 50002
electrum.no-ip.org SSL 50002
electrum.pdmc.net SSL 50002

That was a really helpful post as I experienced this problem today when attempting to send out some BTC. The strange thing was on my first attempt the funds actually arrived, but didn't show up on my transaction history - and other attempts to send failed, as per above comments. Changing the server fixed the problem - so thanks!

I went to bed and when I looked again that one finally was OK.  But I just sent 1 BTC somewhere else 20 minutes ago and it's not showing up in the chain yet.  A few other transactions were pretty slow yesterday too, but I can't get a fix on if it was electrum or the sender, or both.

As for todays transaction, I'll PM you the ID. 


Well, as I was writing that, there were 2 confirmations  I opened and closed the client during that time.  Now I'm just wondering about the delays in general, previously, transactions would generally show up in the blockchain almost immediately, although unconfirmed.  Been slower since the stuck block it seems.  I'll keep monitoring it.

Try a different server and make sure you included enough fees.
