So I am moderating my first transaction on openbazaar for a guy he says he sent the bitcoin but the seller says he never received the bitcoin the buyer sends me the tx ID but on the tx ID it says unable to decode output address. I'm not really sure what to do here and I don't understand what happened I read a few things on reddit and on this forum here but I can't really figure out what happened?

Here is the tx ID: https://blockchain.info/tx/f64e19bf385f4d0bf86cb0a97bb0d0feae7ac158d0824e032179a3cb3a355499

If someone can help me out and help me figure out how to moderate this transaction that would be great

Thanks

blockchain.info is one of the laziest block explorers when it comes to implementing new features.
what you see as a reed text saying "Unable to decode output address" are OP codes they were too lazy to code so their platform understands them.

your transaction is simply paying to two addresses the second one is a SegWit address "bc1qkqz2fhmhkfe7zejf55pv96uj2tddszfrfh7ujer2kjy9j6ujvu6skl0r0r" which has received 0.00985191BTC and the transaction is confirmed. now you should ask the seller what his address was. if it is this SegWit (Bech32) address then he has already received the payment.

This is the buyers wallet address: 1PvAiuaQ9b11mWH2qpJBN1e4wpMgHx9ZHu I'm not sure (Neither is he) if this is a segwit address or not I contacted the openbazaar people as well but if anyone on here can help as well that'd be awesome Smiley

High fees = low BTC price

How can you send a payment to two addresses, i just don't get the segwit thing and I though the whole thing got dropped in
BTC a few months ago but it's looks like they activate the code anyway in BTC Core

Spill the beans will you gov

Mining is CPU-wars and Intel, AMD like it nearly as much as big oil likes miners wasting electricity. Is this what mankind has come too.

a SegWit address is either using the Bech32 format which is new and the addresses will start with 'bc1' like the one i posted above and the transaction is using or t hey will be using P2SH-P2WKH in which case the address will start with '3' like the regular P2SH (multisig) addresses.

the buyers wallet address (1PvAiua...) is not seen in the transaction you shared above!

i don't quite understand your question!
you can send payments to many addresses not just two! here is the latest block, knock yourself out: https://blockchain.info/block/0000000000000000002d2ed7ceeef95ecb35bf2b9498945cd0709070b70c7f21

as for SegWit it has been active for a long time and the code is already in bitcoin core, they have not made it newbie-friendly yet.
if you want to use SegWit then use a more newbie-friendly wallet like Electrum version 3+
