Why build a new one ? Just figure out how to reset the question counter . <| sep |> Such is life when you ' re tall . 20 lbs difference is unnoticeable , whether gaining or losing . <| sep |> Thanks for the info . It ' s good to hear from people who know more than random internetters . <| sep |> Are you not concerned that someone is able to send and have mined lots of zero cost transactions of zero value from zero balance accounts ? The whole point of the last hard fork was to clean up the mess made by this . It seems , at first glance , that the attacker is looking to add bloat back to the chain state by adding bloat to accounts that cannot be set to zero , and in fact are the largest accounts on the network . Even if the coins are moved out of these accounts , they cannot be deleted by the hard fork because these accounts once held coins . Moreover , even though the gas cost of operations has been increased , these transactions are being written to the chain with zero gas cost effectively countering the purpose of the fork before that . What I don ' t understand is how zero gas cost transactions are being mined .
