It doesn't fail in this case but there is no reason to parse it futher because there is no way to understand it. Your version of wallet that continues to parse unknown data is vulnerable to some possible attacks.

Okay, I will make it return on my master then.

Bug is fixed. Please update from git.

I'm going to ask Takotime to build binaries for Windows.

Your fix is wrong.  There is no need to disable all error checking.  Simply commenting out the line works fine, I just tested it.

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commit/cf8fe2867654f0061a17ca4780e736a170a8f87b

In this case the rest of transation can't be parsed by wallet. This means that wallet has to stop parsing this tx. The proper fix will be issued later after talking to Amphibian who created this tx.

There are no issues so far with implementing the fix as in my commit, but yes, this is improper error handling

It further parses after without error

You did not really fix it.
You just ignore every error in the code with your 'update'


We should wait for tacotime to confiorm that the issue is fixed.

This isn't actually an error. This is an unexpected data in an extra field sent by my friend by his merge mining fork. Wallet has to ignore data he can't understand.

Bug is fixed. Please update from git.

I built simplewallet.exe for Windows from the new source code. It's working. Here is a link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/zb5ch99jlbgp5pv/simplewallet.exe

Tip me some MRO: 4AyRmUcxzefB5quumzK3HNE4zmCiGc8vhG6fE1oJpGVyVZF7fvDgSpt3MzgLfQ6Q1719xQhmfkM9Z2u NXgDMqYhjJVmc6KX

In the windows wallet when I try to refresh I get:
Error:Refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 0
Bitmonerod is still mining and synchronized. I can't get any of the new blocks from bitmonerod to synchronize my wallet with the blockchain. When I replaced the wallet from a backup file refresh is working till it gets to some recent block and then it gives the same error, but Blocks received: 3200+. When a new wallet is created it gets 18194 blocks before giving the error. Is the linux situation the same? What about other windows users?


Same problem here. One of my machines has this error: Error: refresh failed: transaction extra parse error. Blocks received: 18194

Created new wallet, same problem.
Copied blockchain from another computer, same problem.
Rebooted (its windows), same problem.

I'm going to check out other computers now.

Yes, all computers affected and the new one I just brought up a few minutes before this problem happened. Looks like a network issue.

Sorry!
This is my bug with merged mining. Please wait about an hour - I'll call TFT to fix this.

I had my suspicion, now begs the question. Can anyone do this whenever they want?

Sorry. I don't understand the question. Sad

Can you please explain how this happened?

Nothing serious but wallet software needs update.
Amphibian is testing his merge mining coin and he adds some proof into BMR/BCN generating tx. BMR wallet throws an exception in case it can't parse tx.extra field. I'm fixing this now. Basicly everything is OK Wink

half a month, without a miner, a pool and GUI.
How can i play with this coin?
I really want to get in, but it's so difficult to me!

What miner are you talking about? You can mine from the wallet.

Completely new tech takes time to develop, Monero is the first to implement CryptoNote fairly
