If you can make it pass the validation, miners&#xA;have no way of knowing it&#39;s not a valid address.&#xA;&#xA;Of course, there is nothing new about this. I ran strings on the blockchain&#xA;and found all sorts of ascii rubbish right from the beginning.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;On 9 April 2013 21:17, Jay F &lt;jayf at outlook.com&gt; wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; On 4/9/2013 4:09 AM, Peter Todd wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt; On Tue, Apr 09, 2013 at 12:42:12PM +0200, Mike Hearn wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt;&gt; hack by changing the protocol.
