I'm testing bitcoin and, as an experiment, I added a transaction after the coinbase to the genesis block. However, it appears that it can't be searched with the rpc commands. Why is that? I already read that the coinbase in the genesis block can't be spent and this is ok, but what about the other transactions?

1Related: Why can't the genesis block coinbase be spent?. Your transaction must be attempting to spend that coinbase (because at that stage there is nothing else to spend) which surely would make it invalid?– Nate EldredgeCommented Apr 23, 2014 at 22:20

There are no other transactions in the Genesis block. For all intents nothing in that block is worthwhile inquiring information about.

There's a transaction in his, because he added it. (So his genesis block is different, and he effectively has an altcoin.) Commented Apr 23, 2014 at 23:49

Users that can't debug issues of their own making shouldn't be trying to edit highly complicated cryptocurrencies. Commented Apr 24, 2014 at 6:12

@goatse are you for real? Even the core developers of bitcoin go out bug hunting. I really hope you're trolling.– gurghetCommented Apr 25, 2014 at 9:53

I'm serious. No core developer bothers with this sort of nonsense. Altcoins never have and never will contribute anything to the core client. They are pump and dumps without limit. Commented Apr 26, 2014 at 6:37
