Title: transaction edit done by mining nodes Post by: sarat on October 25, 2017, 08:39:29 AM Hi,
I'm reading through bitcoin manuals and I got this question, please help me to correct my understanding. I'm aware that changing the transaction output amount value can make the transaction unusable. What happens if the mining nodes lowers the output value to get more transaction fee, in such scenarios how the bitcoin protocol counterfeit that? Thank You.

This would then render the entire block invalid.

The signature is computed and verified on ALL of the data except the signature. It would not be possible for a signature to sign itself.

Thank you, Does that mean when the block is mined, and it published over bitcoin network, does the other nodes verify the transaction validity along with the block hash validity?

The nodes verify transactions in block.does the other nodes verify the transaction validity along with the block hash validity? For more information refer to: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_rules#.22block.22_messages (I am not sure that this article is 100% up-to-date) Of course, there can be some "caching tricks": node does not need to validate already seen and validated txs.
