Holy crap... they have $1000 in coins, and they spend $300 to send $700... yikes.

Transactions larger than 100K are non-standard now, so I doubt the big transaction was ever broadcast. Almost certainly the transaction belonged to the miner, and they paid the fees to themself.

There are enough old nodes still running on the network to get 100k txs propagated to miners if you start with a well connected node.

Thanks, that's interesting to know.

Surprised that did not cause a fork!
Is a good testcase - is it a new record sized transaction?

Sweet.

Fix the motherfucking code before you have to be fired. To recap : a. If I want to make 1 Mb txs I make 1 Mb txs ; b. correct inputs are selected to feed the outputs as if a human or better was doing the selecting.

I guess that takes care of a. Nice going!

Are you sure you know what a fork is? A fork is the situation when two groups of miners start on the same blockchain, and make two separate ones. Big transactions are just a SoB to verify, I couldn't think of a reason it would cause a fork. But I may be wrong.

conclusion: OP is a fool.
