Erm I just accidentally sent Bitcoins to myself. It currently has 18 confirmations and the client actually says 'Payment to yourself'.

Couldnt someone make blocks very very large by doing it repeatedly?
It would take a few seconds to make a endless bash loop doing it.

Why can you send coins to yourself?

Why should you not be able to send coins to yourself? No-one knows which addresses you control so there is no way of telling if you are sending to yourself anyway.

I encourage you to do this and try to break the Test network.

Good luck!
