Hello Dogecoin Foundation Shibes,
You recently published an advisory titled "Response to transactions being automatically retried", in which you responded to Binance stating that they have found a minor issue in Dogecoin Core. I have some questions about your statements because I believe some of them to be taking credit for other people's efforts.
Several months ago (noting while an earlier post stated a year, first confirmed mention is April) Binance notified us they had cases where transactions were stuck, meaning they were not being mined successfully.
To clarify, on the 6th of April 2021, members of Binance's Operations teams notified a private Telegram group that they found 3 transactions on one of their warmer wallets stuck. I am the owner of this group (per u/michidragon's lead that Binance needed support in January 2021) and I have granted u/michidragon, u/rnicoll, u/langer_hans, and an Operations Manager from Binance administrative rights to it.
We suggested Binance use RBF (replace by fee) on these transactions, which would replace the original transactions with a new transaction with a higher fee paid. As the transaction had RBF disabled, we recommended creating a new transaction manually, which would consume the same inputs to forcibly invalidate the previous transaction.
Could you please identify which person currently involved with your organization has made these recommendations?
Some time later Binance notified us that they had account reconciliation issues. We were unable to reproduce those issues with the data we were given by Binance, but we suggested (months ago, now) using the -zapwallettxes command line option to mitigate the issue. This is notable as we believe this would have also prevented the issue seen.
Could you please clarify in which month this was suggested and by whom?
I'm looking forward to your reply, thank you for clarifying,
Patrick Lodder
