Subject: [Bitcoin-development] Coinbase script parse failures
Date: Mon, 23 Jul 2012 02:07:39 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+8xBpfMRSmw2bPuR2yy8jffKiSVvLfZzPyfByvMThMV-xh84A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
While writing the script engine for pynode, I ran a test to validate
my script tokenizer -- a python script which does nothing more than
split up scriptPubKey and scriptSig into component opcodes and data
elements. No execution, just tokenization of the script's data
stream.
Scanning the entire blockchain, my script found over 8,000
tokenization failures, and 100% of those were in coinbase
transactions' scriptSig. The scripts used to generate this can be
found at https://github.com/jgarzik/pynode
The following data dump are just the first few, and most recent few,
of the invalid scripts I found in the blockchain:
