- # Problem description:
On June 21, sending transaction 43f1c3e735560f7b1e4c396a55a2e62d2e83b7c4ed1efc5a7d29358c84ca7807 using "sx sendtx-node" to my bitcoin node running Bitcoind 0.9.1 _~~0.9.2~~_ failed. The log showed the connection, but no errors (default log level) **Update:** _enabling 'net' debuging also showed no errors (included below)_
The transaction was considered valid by both "sx validtx" and my bitcoin node when I used bitcoin-cli to send it manually.
I came up with 3 possibilities: 1. bug in sx sendtx 2. bug in Bitcoind 3. ISP using DPI to selectively block transactions (but allow initial connection) **Update:** _It appears that option 3 is out (not that it was ever likely) (packet capture: Linked in the first comment.)_
Edit: Bitcoin reported version: "version" : 90100
Package: bitcoin-daemon-0.9.1; FreeBSD 9.2-RELEASE-p3
Sx reported version: ??? "/libbitcoin:2.0.0/: version 60000" pulled from log below.
# Experimental design:
My plan is to run tcpdump on both hosts while I try to resend the transaction. If the transaction is truly being blocked, it won't matter that it was sent already. If it goes through, bitcoind should log it as a duplicate.
Because my Bitcoin node has many connections, I will want to filter as many packets as possible. Because the computer with the sx tools also has several network connections, a similar filter should be used to capture only Bicoin-related packets.
# TCPdump options:
## On Casey (Bitcoin node)
```
tcpdump -i rl0 -p -w jun2014_bc_recv_1Bitcoin.pcap \(host 70.74.233.146 and port 8333\)
```
## On Torchlight (sx client)
```
tcpdump -i eth1 -p -w jun2014_sx_send_1Bitcoin.pcap \(host 66.18.211.158 and port 8333\)
```

Note the size of the first received tx does not match the tx under test (761 bytes > 291 bytes)
