Title: Payment to yourself
Post by: Hal on February 13, 2011, 09:30:06 PM
I did "Copy to Clipboard" of my Bitcoin address and then hit Pay, paid myself 20 btc. Is this supposed to work?

It sort of worked and sort of didn't. The transaction displays as "Payment to yourself" with Debit -20.00 and Credit +20.00. But Status is stuck at "0/offline?". I'm online and I've never had a problem sending a transaction before.

Aren't payments to self not supposed to have credit/debit numbers? It could be a bug. See if it ends up being rebroadcast successfully.

Payment to self -- credits/debits are indistinguishable, so the "net amount" appears to be zero:

It did finally go through, just slow I guess.
