Can TXID be caculated before TX commited?

May 18, 2013, 03:17:51 AM

Hello all!
Is TXID predictable before transaction broadcast to peers?
Or in other words,can someone choose a certain txid he want when broadcast a transaction?

Hi!

Yes, it's a hash based on the content of the transaction. See the bitcoin wiki or this question:
http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/2859/how-are-transaction-hashes-calculated

The answer to the second question is no. Furthermore that would be an undesirable feature of a hash function. See "preimage attack".

So we can still have a hash set to choose from by select different vin or nLockTime without ruin a transaction.

yes. you can change the txids as much times as you want, but there's no easy way to get a specific txid.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
