I was mining an altcoin and solved a block and got a larger reward than I was obviously supposed to, but the block was validated and I got several confirms before being kicked from the network and getting no more confirms. I backed up my appdata/coin/ folder to be safe, and sure enough after some time the transaction disappeared and my client began communicating with the network again. If I place all of the old files back in my appdata/coin/ folder, the transaction reappears and lists the coins as unconfirmed in my wallet balance and I once again get kicked from the network. The transaction doesn't appear to be in the blockchain when I search for it using a blockchain explorer. Now before anyone starts accusing me of anything, I don't have the knowledge to do something this sophisticated, and I know that 99.9% of us wouldn't complain if 6 or 7 bitcoin just appeared in our wallet as we were mining. That being said, is there anyway to validate or rebroadcast the transaction? It was an honestly mined block and as I said was validated and even got confirms. It sure would make mining all night for pennies more worthwhile Grin

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

Use commas when dealing with lots of zeroes.
Bad example: 1000000
Good example: 10,000,000.00

And never use commas in place of decimal points:
Bad! = 100,00
Good! = $100.00

Good luck in getting your 100000,00 reward.
