Title: Does someone here own 1CAU5ynvE...
Post by: vuce on June 16, 2012, 10:11:29 PM
If anyone does I would very much like to hear from you :)

(it's kind of important, as an answer I would need could turn a paper that is due tomorrow upside down)

Well I for one am not going to bother digging through all my addresses to see if it's in there, unless I have a good reason to. So maybe we could have a little bit of background on this request?

Yeah this sounds like a waste of time to look considering i don't know what this has to do with turning in a paper

Well, the input transaction is a double spend, that might be interesting.

The paper is on commitcoin implementation, which this double spend is a part of. If this is what I fear it is it might uncover a vulnerability in the protocol that authors shrug off as being practically unexploitable. Anyway it's not like someone could do this by accident so if you don't know you did it don't bother checking.

What's with all the sub comments? :) Anyway, after some thinking it's probably just an address collision due to my own stupidity.

You mentioned a potential protocol vulnerability, so of course many people are interested.

Just to make this clear, this is commitcoin protocol vulnerability, not bitcoin one.

Ugh not this again. Here, have a link for your viewing pleasure: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies <-- that's why people "sub". They don't want an email from the Notify link.

Still interesting nonetheless.

Wow, why didn't I figured this out earlier? Thank you. No more subs from me.
