why is this inscription incorrect? #3798

Closed sharphill2022 closed 3 months ago

sharphill2022 commented 4 months ago

I found such an inscription on testnet3, but I can't find it on ordinals.com. Can you tell me why this inscription is wrong? Thank you.

Hi sharphill2022 - I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but here's what I would say.

1) that tx won't be on ordinals.com because https://ordinals.com is mainnet and this tx is from testnet 2) normally, the tx would be found on https://testnet.ordinals.com but that site is down for the time being. 3) here is the tx on @gmart7t2's testnet instance 4) if you compare against another inscription, you can see it has many PUSHDATA lines. Maybe that is what you mean when you're asking why it's wrong?

Thanks for your reply, @cryptoni9n . I have checked on testnet.ordinals.com and can't find this inscription. My question is why this inscription can't be identied as an inscription. what is the reason?

The tx doesn't have a valid inscription envelope.

Envelopes consist of an OP_FALSE OP_IF … OP_ENDIF wrapping any number of data pushes.

It looks like your tx is missing the OP_FALSE line

sharphill2022 commented 4 months ago

OP_0 is the same as OP_FALSE, so that's not the real reason.

You're right - thanks for the correction, I was unaware. I'm not sure why then it isn't being recognized as a valid inscription. Maybe you could provide some details on how it was created? What type of inscription is it supposed to be?

sharphill2022 commented 4 months ago

All these data are on testnet. I also was confused with this case and looking for the reason here...

not me inscribed it. I just saw it and don't know why ordinals indexer can't recognize it as a correct inscription. from the aspect of ordinals protocol, this looks like a good inscription.

ok, thanks for the additional information. It appears to be an attempted BRC-20 inscription. I compared it to 5 other valid BRC-20 inscription P2TR tapscripts (all different tickers) and the only difference that sticks out as unique to the bad script is that it uses an _OP_PUSHBYTES33 for the public key while all other valid scripts used OP_PUSHBYTES_32. This is my best guess at what the issue seems to be. What do you think?

sharphill2022 commented 4 months ago

i agree with what you found. But from the ordinals protocol, it only processes the data in the envelope. So do you think ordinals protocol also processes the script out of the envelope?

Not necessarily, but if the public key was malformed, perhaps it could come out like this? In any case, it seems that we're chasing a mystery here and without further details on how it was inscribed, it's just a guessing game as to what went wrong.

sharphill2022 commented 3 months ago

Yes. This is just an example on testnet, no such example on mainnet. It seems to be a better choice to ignore it.
