Title: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: racerguy on December 11, 2011, 05:07:23 PM http://blockexplorer.com/tx/ed4c7cbde21b2a0abfbf86b3c330b8990d7b64cf8ca8a2351864178b8af25df6
anyone know what's going on with that 43btc transaction fee? Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: DeepBit on December 11, 2011, 05:13:10 PM May be someone (like blockchain.info) tried to implement online multiple-outputs-transaction constructor and it went a bit wrong :)

Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: DeepBit on December 11, 2011, 06:14:02 PM Also there are two TXes with same fee.
This may be a risky coin re-minting attempt, but looks like TX was received by blockchain.info before being confirmed, so it's not. Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: Revalin on December 11, 2011, 11:33:29 PM The inputs don't contain anything expensive. The outputs don't have any unusual scripts.
Either someone's feeling generous or they need to test their code more. :) Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: paybitcoin on December 11, 2011, 11:51:05 PM Haha yeah, 42.94967296 sounds an awful lot like 2 ^ 32 = 4 294 967 296... Definitely needs more testing!
Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: Revalin on December 12, 2011, 01:26:17 AM Oh my goodness, you're right. Someone's storing values as a uint32_t and they dropped a satoshi on the floor. That's an expensive mistake. Hopefully they noticed! I'm surprised it wasn't a 42.94967295 fee, though.

Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: Raoul Duke on December 12, 2011, 07:15:53 PM Damn, this will be the most profitable day in the history of bitcoin miners so far.
Title: Re: strange 43btc fee transaction Post by: piuk on December 12, 2011, 08:48:58 PM The is possibly an issue related to My Wallet (https://blockchain.info/wallet), I have disabled new transactions while I investigate. If there is an issue it seems to be isolated to one particular address.
Edit: This has now been fixed and transactions re-enabled. |
