tx hash vs txId #24

Closed stachlewski closed 2 years ago

stachlewski commented 2 years ago

Why hash is sometimes different than txId? For example when decoding block 481824, tx number 562. What is the purpose of "hash" here?

4tochka commented 2 years ago

Hash this is hash from transaction bytes and hash = txId for old format non segwit transactions, for segwit transaction txId is hash from transaction bytes converted to old format (remove segwit part)
