Bad Account Creation Transactions Causing Block Mining To Fail
Posted: Thu Oct 08, 2020 4:22 am
The current testnet was stalled for around an hour when I noticed my miner indicating that mined blocks were invalid. Upon further investigation two transactions were identified as causing the problem. This was easy to deduce because as per the logs from this link (https://paste.debian.net/1166292/), it was a create_account command causing problems, and only two transactions in the tx pool were create_account:
* https://explorer.townforge.net/tx/6dbc5 ... 6bc243dce6
* https://explorer.townforge.net/tx/a86ad ... fff9822643
Running the following commands to flush the transactions from my node was enough to be able to successfully mine new blocks:
* `flush_txpool a86ad8eec25bcc8d647a132c14c5b325d1ad3102ef8c0e02a25a65fff9822643`
* `flush_txpool 6dbc54183f78b2e5b9201c9e1671be64eade829979acc630145e966bc243dce6`
