Description

Jack is aware of this one and it's a strange scenario, and not sure how often it's happening in the wild. I ran into it by having multiple synced wallets in a database which had imported channels, so I ended up with 2 accounts that had the same wallet address. If you tried to create a transaction that affected that address, the on transaction message would list the address twice and time out. The transaction itself would get sent.

Would need to take a deper dive to see if this is affecting any of the timeouts we are seeing on lbry.tv/youtube sync.

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the scenario with duplicate addresses across synced wallets and trace the transaction message and timeout handling; done means the transaction no longer lists the address twice or times out, with the effect on lbry.tv/youtube sync timeouts assessed.
