transactionFromNotExistingAccount does not reflect YellowPaper
See original GitHub issueI was looking through the transactionFromNotExistingAccount test, and it seems to me like it does not accurately reflect the Yellow Paper.
This test seems to execute a transaction with a valid signature (and thus we can get a sender address), but for which the sender’s account does not exist in the blockchain db.
The transaction passes several of the requirements for a valid transaction specified under Section 6.2 of the Yellow Paper (currently eq. 66) by having a gas price of 0 and a valueof 0, but it does not seem to satisfy the requirement that S(T) != Null.
Since the equation numbers are liable to change, I include a copy of the equations here:

I am quite busy with tests right now. if there is smth we should do about this issue please tell, otherwise could just close.
@winsvega I never opened an issue on https://github.com/ethereum/yellowpaper for this. I think I misread your answer back in October of last year, and I thought we weren’t sure what would be the best place to fix this. Looking back at it now, I see the “yes” there.
I haven’t dealt with ethereum in a little while. @ayrat555 would opening an issue for the yellow paper be something you’d be willing to do? If not, I can try to open one based on what I have described in this issue.
