Title: What does "Unable to decode output address" mean? Post by: tyz on May 16, 2016, 10:59:11 PM When I looked up an address on blockchain.info, I found a transaction with the message "Unable to decode output address " standing above the receiving address. What does this mean? ::)

What does this mean? ::) It means that the output script is not an address but rather a custom script. Typically this is an OP_RETURN output which encodes 80 bytes of arbitrary data into the transaction.http://s32.postimg.org/x7lndc7f5/address.jpg (http://postimg.org/image/x7lndc7f5/) Title: Re: What does "Unable to decode output address" mean?
