Can somebody please show me a working gettxoutproof / verifytxoutproof pair, I am looking for the input used on bitcoin-cli or console window in Bitcoin Core to make this happen, and the outputs.

For example, TXID: D97A21CF46FD5AFB0BF9EA4237BC4BF5C84E8B47D38D1EEE2BBEB5C0F8A1C625 is included in block 0000000000000a3290f20e75860d505ce0e948a1d1d846bec7e39015d242884b

The input to gettxoutproof should include the txid and the blockhash.

Given:

  • txid: 3bdb32c04e10b6c399bd3657ef8b0300649189e90d7cb79c4f997dea8fb532cb
  • blockhash: 0000000000000000007962066dcd6675830883516bcf40047d42740a85eb2919

With these, you can create a proof and verify it like so:

$ bitcoin-cli gettxoutproof "[\"3bdb32c04e10b6c399bd3657ef8b0300649189e90d7cb79c4f997dea8fb532cb\"]" 0000000000000000007962066dcd6675830883516bcf40047d42740a85eb2919

  • Note that >bitcoin-cli help gettxoutproof says that you need to maintain a transaction index, using the -txindex command line option or specify the block in which the transaction is included manually (by blockhash) for this command to operate reliably. I do not believe it operates if the transaction is in a pruned block. – Willtech Feb 11 '18 at 5:59
