Title: Redeeming Bitcoins. Post by: os008 on March 03, 2011, 06:00:40 AM Hi,
I noticed there's a column called "Redeemed at input" in the transaction page, e.g ... http://blockexplorer.com/tx/f94c4b6b7ebd64a863bc73ea0349c59e7da8ecad207ec704459f496f349201ea#i418484 What does "Redeemed at input" and "Not yet redeemed" mean please?

Quote from: help text If this output has ever been redeemed, the transaction that did it is listed here. Whenever you spend coins, you redeem one or more outputs. The output is attached to an input in the new transaction you create, and you create a new output that will be redeemed by whoever you send the coins to. output -> input -> output -> ...

Yes, i've noticed that, thanks. I asked because i didn't understand the action of "redeeming" itself. Quote Whenever you spend coins, you redeem one or more outputs.

See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Transactions for more info. First thing i did was check that link also, but seems i was too tired or something, because reading it again just now I understood it. Didn't get that "redeem" means "send to another person"; thought it meant "claim it as the owner", which made me worry i was going to lose them with time :D. Thanks for the help :).
