A demo without ๐Ÿš€ science, just simple UTXO spending logic.

Overview

Stuck TX Demo

Docker container that runs 4 dogecoind to demonstrate "the stuck tx problem".

Scenario

  1. A wallet sends out 3 transactions to a recipient of resp 51k, 52k and 53k DOGE.
  2. All transactions get stuck because there is no miner that is accepting the fee
  3. The first transaction (tx0) gets replaced by respending its inputs
  4. The second transaction (tx1) gets replaced without respending inputs
  5. The third transaction (tx2) is forgotten
  6. When the wallet (or an attacker!!!) sends the original tx1 again, the recipient gets the amount twice

Usage

You need an x86 linux pc or vm with docker and git installed.

git clone https://github.com/patricklodder/wallet-stucktx-demo.git
cd wallet-stucktx-demo
docker build -t wallet-stucktx-demo:latest .
docker run wallet-stucktx-demo:latest
