Thank you. I saw that also but I was puzzled since I thought the change was sent to a new adress, not an existing one.


It does now, it did not then.

Part of the issue of looking at really old code be it BTC or any other program is things that are done a certain way now and may have been done that way for over a decade may have started out working in a different way.
So, when you go look at something with the 2025 mindset a program that was written in 2015 may behave in a totally different way. And then you spend hours trying to figure out how something worked, when in reality it didn not even exist back then never mind work.

Been there, done that.
