I am testing with a currency forked from Pivx, but I see that bitcoind responds the same way here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=100824.0 with error code -5

If I send/receive a tx that then some time after a few confirmations (the block) was to become orphaned or stale; Would I get the same reply from rpc gettransactions as below (where I intentionally typed a non transaction id in) if I were to look for the tx or should it come back with a full tx object?

zdx-cli gettransaction "gyyyyf"
error: {"code":-5,"message":"Invalid or non-wallet transaction id"}

There are two cases here:

  • Block with the tx became orphaned and the transaction is still valid. In this case it is returned to the mempool. gettransaction will return unconfirmed transaction detail
  • Another conflicting transaction got confirmed ( having same inputs). In this case existing txid becomes invalid and it is discarded
