Title: Solidcoin bug (or is it a feature?)
Post by: Bitcoin Oz on October 21, 2011, 06:39:50 AM
So I sent 5 sc2 to myself on a linux machine and it wiped out my whole balance (in that wallet) and I was left with 0 coins.

I then went on a windows machine and used a backup of the wallet to restore the correct balance. Maybe it thought I was trying to doublespend ?

Protip-dont send coins to yourself in sc2 unless you want a heart attack....

You send 5 and you get more more than 30k!?  I do not mind such a heart attack, give me more! :)

It's a bug that fixes itself once the sent amount has "1 confirmation"

It doesn't currently trust a 0 conf transaction from yourself when it should. If you had left the linux client get one confirmation you would have seen the balance restored.

Yes after putting the wallet on another machine it has it as a credit...as though it sent the whole lot out to the network and it all came back to that address....

Im not game to sned a solidcoin to anyone unless it sends them the whole wallet lol.

No reason it should show your balance as 0.000 surely

The reason is when you send funds, a new address is created for you to send the "change" . This new address starts off as having "0 confirmations" as it's recently added to the client and SolidCoin 2 is currently only showing you funds you have with at least 1 confirmation. It will be fixed so that 0 confirmation transactions from yourself are also added to the balance.
