happy halvening guys, let us see more halving in our short lifetime.

think, my grand grand son can see the last halving lol.

Block 420001 has a negative amount of transaction fees (-4BTC)  

[Laosai]

What???

Blockchain.info says that the block reward for block # 420000 is 16.666 BTC ?

The fees no?
It's 15btc plus 1.666btc of fees?

Ok for this one I don't know xD
Maybe the whole thing is a bit fucked up no?
Because of the halving and all...

[Coinnosaurus]

Someone is trying to pump the price on bitfinex ,what a circus...

[AlexGR]

Um.... why is the reward on the last two blocks 16.66666666?  Did someone forget how to divide by 2?

Blockchain.info screwup.
Blockr.io correctly displays it as 12.51263172

Same thing with btcc too

Relayed By   BTCC Pool
Block Reward   16.66666666 BTC

In order to display 16.66666666, that's 50/3, instead of 50 /2 (first halving) and again /2 (second halving).

Why would anyone have it manually set to display /3?

It also shows fees as (-3.59096985), yes a negative fee amount. My guess would be a glitch, perhaps try another blockchain explorer.

No, it looks like several sites have a bug in how they are displaying the new block reward.  The block reward + transaction fees in block # 420000 was 13.07569681 BTC.

https://blockexplorer.com/blocks

shows 2 block 420001 with same size different timestamp

[Karpeles]

Don't take blockchain.info seriously, they sometimes show wrong data for no reason, it was more or less expectable that they would be buggy during the halving.

Better do your checkings somewhere else

[Elwar]

Only $1.14 million per day for mining costs. Quite the discount.

[Hunyadi]

People are panicking because of 16.6666 block reward, ddos attacks, big dump, lots of shorting... I expect some FUD soon 

[DARKHOLDER]

Congrats all, this feels like new years eve  

Cheers!
