Title: Understanding a transaction page on blockchain.info
Post by: soy on March 12, 2014, 11:13:51 PM
I'm having a problem understanding the blockchain.info page on a transaction.

I enter the transaction ID into the blockchain.info search box.

I know how many BTC were sent in the transaction.  I know the approximate value of that send.  I see blockchain info can give a more precise dollar value of the particular transaction.

The problem is that the transaction shows six sends from my address, each roughly the value of the single transaction.  I don't understand.

----------------

Later....  Okay, I changed the readings from dollars to btc.  The btc sent is correct.  The value of the btc in the transaction can only be correct if calculated by today's current btc value rather than the btc value at the time of the transaction.

Wonder if there is a way to have the blockchain.info display the transaction with values at the time of the transaction.

I'd buy a blockchain.info for Dummies if one were offered.

        No man - there is no way to see  a value in dollars calculated from a price when transaction was send.

EDITED: I was wrong :D As you can read below :D
Wrong, It shows old value, just keep your mouse on dollar amount for 2 seconds. It will show a tooltip.

        It would be too hard to implement into blockchain. Price is changing hour by hour..

EDITED: it was perhaps not easy, but they did it :P

Yes, I see.  I had looked at early bitcoin transactions and was only seeing the present price not the original.  then somewhere between late July and early August, bitcoin value at time of transaction seems to have been implemented.  Hovering over the sepcific segment of the transaction will get that.  I'm not sure about the value in the green box following the transaction.  I'll check either later or tomorrow.
