Broadcasting Non-Standard Transactions

[djuser]

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone knows of a server that accepts main chain non-standard transactions. I tried Eligus (http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/pushtxn), however it was rejected.

Thanks!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Bitcoin development, please take your complimentary development guide. Most of the important pages are missing of course - but we trust you'll find them somewhere! Today we're going to be learning about transactions. Transactions must be made from scratch for anything complicated, using mostly untested libraries! It's really fun! You never quite know what you're going to get, like a box of chocolates, lol! To test your transactions, you must run them through a debugging tool that doesn't exist. Currently we only return vague -22 rejected errors, sorry about that! Well, ah, I'm sure you'll figure it out. Oh yeah, we kind-of disabled non-standard transactions on the mainnet so your code likely won't work anyway. Mmm, well this is awkward... Any how, I'm off to snort some coke with Satoshi Nakomoto. I'll be back later. Make sure to recheck this thread otherwise you might miss the important terse, and incomprehensible responses that will solve your technical problems.

Thank you,

Eligus is the only pool to accept non-standard transactions. It was probably rejected for being malformed.

Unfortunately as 21st-century  points out the error messages with bitcoin are rather vague and there are no good tools for checking transactions easily. If you want, paste the raw transaction here and I will see what is wrong with it.
