Hello Hackforum

I saw a video of someone that broadcasted 99,100 unconfirmed bitcoins in one blockchain transaction.

I'm unable to post link, i could have posted the YouTube video link here.

How was this possible. I thought bitcoin was unhackable or was this some kind of exploit or javascript?

Guru's in the forum should please comment answers because i have searched on google and i came up with nothing useful.

So i decided to post my question here.

Thank you in advance

How about sharing the link without https or www so we know what you are talking about..

Yeah what the above user said, please share the link so we can know what exactly you’re talking about.

You can broadcast anything you want to the blockchain. Doesn't mean it will get verified.

Broadcasting a fake transaction won't verify from the nodes. And then after 3 days I believe they get dropped.

Here are example transactions that are rejected.

Very likely just a scam or virus to get money from you.

Didn’t watch the video but I am assuming a user was either:

1. Attempting a dust attack
2. Deanonymizing addresses

Pretty common occurrences with such transactions.

You see where it says Pending? That means the transaction is not confirmed yet (and never will be in this case).

[Light3r]

Thanks for your comment but NO, this is not a dust attack or Deanonymizing addresses. Try and watch the video

You can create whatever you want in a raw transaction and go ahead and broadcast it or use a 3rd party to broadcast it. It’s fake and will be rejected.

[Light3r]

Thank you so much for your answer. I never thought of this before.

So which software / site can be used to create raw transaction and broadcast it for free without having bitcoins because i wasn't able to create a raw transaction for free without having any bitcoin for payment?

This doesn't make sense, how can you create a transaction without btc? You have to have at least 1 satoshi to create a transaction

I'm as confused as you are because I also thought one must have at least 1 satoshi to create a transaction

Thank you so much for the link. It was very helpful, insightful and an eye opener.

Why did Satoshi Nakamoto code bitcoin to allow invalid coins to be broadcasted and later removed from blockchain history?

Which other altcoins allows invalid coins to be broadcasted and later removed from their network?
