i'm studying Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System Satoshi Nakamoto

and this paper introduce a transaction model. (above picture) enter image description here

but i don't understand what is 'Hash' means exactly

i think Hash is same Bitcoin API JSON-RPC - signrawtransaction function

it means hash(txid + owner's public key)? then what method used hash function?

or hash(result of signrawtransaction + RIPEMD160(sha256(pub k)) )? then what method used to hash?

The hash refers to the signature hash, to which all tx data except for the input script is committed to (unless you are signing with a sighash flag other than ALL).

The signature hash is what is signed with ECDSA to produce the signature.

  • thanks. but i have one more question. in the picture of center(1 and 2's transaction), why Hash(Owner 2's pub K + signature hash) is Owner 1's Signature? Assuming the signature of 1 is correct, why 1's Sign arrow not heads Hash, point out 1's Signature? – user10865941 Jan 17 at 10:39
  • Thats because the transaction output is intended for owner 2. His pubkey is commited to the 2nd transaction. Specifically it is inthe output of tx2. He has the private key 2 that can spend it. – James C. Jan 17 at 10:47
  • Its the original paper, but the illustration isn’t the most intuitive depiction. – James C. Jan 17 at 10:48
