Title: Getting Genesis Block transaction on my node Post by: windpath on July 28, 2015, 04:56:06 PM I have my node (Satoshi 0.11.0) set with txindex=1 Given a random set I can pull up any transaction by TXID using getrawtransaction, however when I try to pull up the transaction in the Genesis block I get: Code: bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b Code: No information available about transaction (code -5) I'm wondering if there is a way to get the transaction on my node?

I think it is actually hard coded. Since the transaction doesn't really exist, it can't be viewed by anyone through conventional means and it can't be spent at all.
