litecoin-cli gettxout "9d56b3bf179a988873fc2162d70bba44849ef822764c9049a0f722b5fdc9acc1" 1

This is the command im using to get information about a transaction.

litecoind -txindex=1 -daemon -conf=/home/litecoin/.litecoin/litecoin.conf -reindex -rpcuser=cryptosensei -rpcpassword=foo_420 -rpcport=9332 -rpcthreads=1000

This is the command i use for starting up my daemon. with the -reindex it should not re-verify the blocks. So im wondering why im getting null.

If anyone knows what the issue let me know. Also here is the response of getnetworkinfo & getblockcount

getblockcount

litecoin@Debian-913-stretch-64-minimal:/root$ litecoin-cli getblockcount
0

getblockchaininfo

Assuming this is identical to Bitcoin Core.

This is somewhat confusing, but it simply means that UTXO is spent. It is reporting "nothing" as output.

  • Yep very confusing. Also yes it is completly identical to bitcoin core actually. What im asking myself is what the exact difference between -reindex & -reindex-chainstate is. Maybe this is the cause of all of that

  • -reindex scans all block data again; -reindex-chainstate assumes your blocks are fine. It sounds unrelated to your question - there is nothing wrong here. The output you're asking about simply has been spent already.

  • Ahh okay. So what method is the correct one to simply check a transaction? [Confirmations etc]

  • 1
    gettransaction (only works for transactions in your own wallet), or getrawtransaction (for all transactions, but only works if you have txindex enabled).

  • gettransaction returns that its a non found method for some reason. Yet i have the txindex enabled and set but it won't work for me for some reason. You see that in my parameters to start the node i have txindex=1
