I am building a blockchain explorer and found a couple of transactions which are causing problems for me.

These transactions have no inputs and have negative value outputs.  Furthermore, the negative value outputs have been spent in transactions which appear to have greater outputs than inputs.  When I check these transactions on block explorers like Blockchain.com these transactions look ok.  But what I get from running getrawtransaction and decoderawtransaction is not consistent with those explorers.

The outputs that I'm looking at are:
Created in tx 9789cf1e36def70ea44219c6c2bd633bf831a67cb659a19c2757b709883cdd6e
Spent in tx 4faba86e9cc006378216defa5bb29c87826d8aa5d02c7a03af2c1f237ec98354

Created in tx 797d455d6a13c9418a8c6d75aa119827c3b6036b015687e9de7f4d2f16bfadee
Spent in tx 8728c4ddc43c8f1259cb4fe08c28eea732f168b9960c3f40c0e5ac81baeddc0c

Can anyone help me understand what's going on with these transactions?  If this isn't the right place for this issue, please direct me appropriately.

decoderawtransaction returns the following for the creation transactions:

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

This is just an issue with decoderawtransaction. Those transactions are segwit transactions which decoderawtransaction confuses for 0 input transactions. If you use getrawtransaction with verbose set to true, you'll get the correct decoding.

Ok I just tried getrawtransaction with verbose=true and I can see the inputs properly now. Thanks.
