Re:Someone Just Paid 2100 ETH for Transaction Fees on Thursday February 21, 2019 @08:50AM (#19216813)

the money launder does not make sense to me - everybody knows who mined the block and everybody knows where the fee goes... So it is perhaps not tracked by current systems but it can be tracked.

Re:Someone Just Paid 2100 ETH for Transaction Fees on Thursday February 21, 2019 @08:36AM (#19216739)

could it be, that the actual hack is the following:

A sends money to B

fee goes to C

you can aim the fee going to C by only sharing the transaction with C and just wait till C gets the block

So far just creative way to send money from A to C - but what if B says the cover the fee (or just implemented it that way) - then B would provide a service/money to A thinking it got the amount from the fee.

I'm however not aware of a B that is sensitive to this kind of attack - but there might be a smart contract out there...

I can imagine that - we had a Pentium II 400Mhz with an onboard Nvidia riva TNT - the onboard part made it fast... And outcast, C&C 3 and AoE II came out that time

Yes, she did - we are together since ten years - so i did not really had a doubt :)

For me it is an investment in life, future and love - why should everything be about money. I really like the ring, it is beautiful. And she loves the ring!
