Support for Bitcoin Core API > v 0.10

+1 vote

Hello,

I am examining the API results of the getrawtransaction RPC call and I noticed that the Bitcoin Core API has added some additional key values such as hash, size, vsize since version 0.10 (the supported version of MultiChain).

Is the intention in your roadmap to upgrade MultiChain support to later version of the Bitcoin Core API and if so, any advice on an estimate time-frame?

I have included a screenshot showing the API result of the getrawtransaction.

The hash and vsize fields are related to bitcoin's segregated witness technology, which we're not implementing at the moment, so there's no value in adding those to MultiChain's getrawtransaction output.

We may add the size field in future, but for now all you need to do is count the length of the hex field and divide by 2, and you'll get the same answer.
