Title: How determine which block contains this transaction by txid? Post by: bitcoinex on January 23, 2011, 11:48:13 AM How I can determine which block contains this transaction (by txid) from CLI?

0 confirmations: not in a block yet. 1 confirmation: in block number "getblockcount" block. 2 : getblockcount-1 ... etc. Note that if there is a block chain reorganization which block the transaction is in can change (as can the number of confirmations).

This has already happened? My dream is somehow to get the checked generator of random numbers based on the bitcoin network. I want use sha256(block hash + txid) for this or something like |
