Title: Blockchain - Strange Transactions Post by: lnternet on January 02, 2014, 12:23:34 AM Blockchain.info has a list of so called Strange Transactions: https://blockchain.info/strange-transactions Can someone explain this? These transactions look a lot like block reward. No output for 25.xxx BTC which is just block reward + fees. Title: Re: Blockchain - Strange Transactions Post by: alexjones on January 02, 2014, 01:38:08 AM I believe that these strange transactions are only block rewards as you mentioned, but they are considered strange because one or more of the addresses that the reward is being sent to is invalid as a bitcoin address, so the bitcoin isn't actually being sent anywhere.

Apparently you can send money to a "dark hole" as well if you send to a random bitcoin adress that is (almost certainlly if you choose it randomly) not owned by anyone Title: Re: Blockchain - Strange Transactions Post by: Booboo on February 23, 2014, 02:17:08 PM So strange.
Title: Re: Blockchain - Strange Transactions Post by: Kiki112 on February 23, 2014, 02:34:40 PM it's probably the money being sent to adresses that don't exist :D

Such mystery.Title: Re: Blockchain - Strange Transactions Post by: Kiki112 on February 23, 2014, 07:58:03 PM very lost Title: Re: Blockchain - Strange Transactions Post by: yogi on February 23, 2014, 08:13:59 PM The transactions are considered strange if they contain elements that blockchain.info is not able to decode.
