Title: How do clients enforce the 50 BTC generation rule? Post by: bytemaster on August 03, 2010, 03:59:25 AM Suppose one client decided to modify CBlock::GetBlockValue() which hardcodes 50 * COIN as nSubsidy to 1000 * COIN and they "complete a block", what would happen? What line of code would catch this mis-match?
Shouldn't these kind of settings be in some kind of "config file" instead of distributed all over the code? Title: Re: How do clients enforce the 50 BTC generation rule?

What line of code would catch this mis-match? When I tested that, the other clients would ignore the one that decided to generate 1000 BTC a block for example.Shouldn't these kind of settings be in some kind of "config file" instead of distributed all over the code?

Code: if (vtx[0].GetValueOut() > GetBlockValue(nFees)) |
