Title: 10 Billion bitcoin uncofirmed transaction on blockchain.info. EDIT: It's gone.
Post by: BitAddict on March 13, 2014, 02:52:32 PM
WTF is this https://blockchain.info/address/1FB1Wry957GoPuasrwP9AZXj63P1won3dS

It won't get confirmed but I'm curious. I never saw that  :o

Edit: Now it shows 0 bitcoins again, probably just a bug.

Edit2: I will mail blockchain.info to aware them if they had any kind of bug, so it can't happen again. DONE

The bitcoin foundation decided that bitcoin should compete with doge and the dollar, euro etc and they print some monies!!!!

And.... it's gone. Probably was just a bug. There was an unconfirmed 10 billion bitcoin transaction.
Sadly I didn't take pic, I will search if someone did.

An attack?, an unused address should not be seen.

Shame for a long time member like you made such a noob mistake : relying only on blockchain.info.

Next time crosscheck it with blockexplorer will you?

There is a chance that someone is trying to exploit Bitcoin protocols, it might have a security flaw which is currently unknown by devolopers and community. We should take this issue serious.

I don't need to confirm anything, it was obviously a blockchain.info bug. You can't send 10 billion bitcoins.
I was just posting it for the funny side and to aware blockchain.info if they had any kind of bug.

Could you not create an invalid raw transaction which attempted to send 10 billion coins? The network would throw it out.

Post by: BitAddict on March 13, 2014, 03:59:08 PM
They're doing it again. They probably want to spread panic and try to drop the price.
Or maybe just a blockchain.info bug, I don't know.
Just don't get scary, this transactions are invalid and WON'T CONFIRM.

Look.

the transaction is real, but nothing to worry about.

it is only Mark Karpeles cashing out.

If they weren't trying impossibly large transactions, would they be able to succeed?

If you don't have the funds is also an invalid transaction. You can only do it with a 51% attack.

Helicopter Ben, Super Mario Draghi or another baby squid trying to "fight unemployment" with trickle down billions and discovering the Bitcoin protocol is a bit different than the USD or EUR.   :P

Not even 100% would suffice. No (real) nodes would accept blocks with invalid transactions.

Other then a bug on blockchain.info i not yet seen a real explanation for this, if it is not a bug on blockchain.info then bitcoin nodes must have relayed this malicious transaction onto the network, why it was relayed on the network by the nodes but not included in a block beats me.

Maybe the node that sent this transaction was one hop away from the blockchain.info node and their custom node does not follow bitcoin protocol and displayed and relayed this fraudulent transaction when it was supose to ban the node that sent this transaction to it ?

Maybe it was fed directly to blockchain.info and to no other nodes. Maybe blockchain.info just displayed it momentarily and did not actually relay it either.

I would also assume that inclusion in a block has a lot more checks than a relay: no one likes to mine orphan blocks or end on the wrong side of a fork.

if this 10 Billion BTC transaction was paired with a 51% attack  by the same people
could this invalid transaction be made valid and screw up the blockchain ledgers?

No, with a 51% attack you can only double spend bitcoins you have legitimately.

Correct. You can't produce insane amounts of coins.

Any miner including such transactions in their own blocks would be starting their own fork. No one else will accept their blocks.

That is an invalid transaction.  All the miners ignore it.  You can make bogus transactions an broadcast them.  Bloockchain.info will show them at first and then stop showing them.  They will never be included in a block because it has a negative fee.

Here is one I saw a while ago created by gmaxwell:

I see, someone try to act smart and use a modded client to do a transaction with negative fees, but they can't outsmart the bitcoin developers that obviously make the transaction invalid.
All is safe, no panic required.
