I'm using Abe to explore the block chain and I was looking in the db and saw there is a magic table with, well, magic numbers.

How are these used by bitcoin/what do they do?

Oh the wiki. Who'd have thought information would be found there.

Thanks

EDIT: So it's used in transactions to verify which network, btc, dvc, etc
