Is there a way to calculate the exact amount of Bitcoins that are lost due to miner mis-configuration?
Looking at that thread, it does seem that it leaves evidence of such an event in the blockchain. Maybe someone already wrote a script to look for those errors?
there is a way, but i don't know if anyone has actually done it or not. you just have to take each block from block #1 up to the longest height. then check their coinbase transaction to see if it is claiming the block reward and the total fees or not.
