Somebody has been inserting transactions with lots of outputs into the main bitcoin block chain: http://blockexplorer.com/block/0000000000000305f98ffbe1db8445ce847fb9a924551945b465386c828f136f
Their next step will be creating transactions with thousands of inputs from those transactions. The result will be lots of excessive disk space usage. The fix is this patch: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/491 Suggestions on the best way to let merchants, miners, and pools know about the potential problem? I hate to take time away from the 0.4 release to re-spin 0.3.24 with the patch, but we may have to. -- -- Gavin Andresen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
