I wrote an article talking about this a few months ago:

"The difficulty of writing consensus critical code: the SIGHASH_SINGLE bug"

Five pages of detail about a single bug^H^H^H feature, and just the other day I found yet another edge case in the implementation that I hadn't noticed before.



I don't believe that you are really Peter Todd, can you please sign the challenge "1" with one of your known bitcoin addresses?

Joking aside, I used some of your scripts to seed the fuzzer: https://github.com/jonasnick/bitcoinconsensus_testcases/tree.... If you come up with more scripts I'd love to feed them to the fuzzer. I'm still surprised that a javascript implementation (bitcore) is withstanding so far.

    Oh, by scripts you mean the test cases I've added in Bitcoin Core? Thanks!
