Pieter Wuille mentions "subsidy fraud" in his recent talk: https://youtu.be/fst1IK_mrng?t=57m2s

I was unable to google what this is, and the Bitcoin Wiki also does not seem to explain it.

If this is a well-known problem, perhaps it would be a good idea to explain it somewhere?

I meant a miner claiming more in the coinbase's output than subsidy + fees allow. On Dec 10, 2015 5:26 AM, "xor" <xor@freenetproject•org> wrote:
