But this mess up resulted in nonstandard transactions, and if Eligius (or whoever included them in a block) had rejected them (which may or may not have been the right thing to do), mtgox wouldn't have lost the coins. | |
| Jan 16, 2012 at 5:29 | comment | added | eldentyrell | Since only MtGox holds the private keys for their wallets, it is impossible for it to have been "done" by Eligius. MtGox admits to having formed the erroneous transaction themselves. Eligius cannot mine a transaction unless it was formed by the person holding the private keys for the outputs involved. | |
