From my understanding of the malleability issue, couldn't you have vendor withdrawals that get sent, but then not verified by the Silk Road system? Where the original transaction gets rejected due to the modified one getting accepted by the network? So then the Silk Road internals would assume it just didn't go through and not deduct it from the vendor's internal balance, allowing the vendor to repeatedly withdraw as long as they just withdrew their whole balance and modified the transaction each time?
- pstrateman 13y agoImplementing a system to detect transactions being confirmed is orders of magnitude more complicated than send and forget. I've sent literally tens of thousands of bitcoins transactions and have never once had a transaction that wasn't confirmed within 48 hours. The important part here is that I have always used the reference client with the latest ruleset for transaction fee calculation.
