hi, i'm trying to parse a block (specifically the blocktemplate_blob from getblocktemplate) but i'm having a bit of trouble. i've checked the definitions in cryptonote_basic.h but i don't see what i'm missing

i'm getting that there's 0 tx hashes at the end of the block, which doesn't make sense because there's a load of other junk left to parse/read

can anyone tell what i'm doing wrong? thanks :)

I think what you read as number of tx hashes is the rct signature type. Here, "none".

ahhh thank you, can't believe i've been looking just at transaction_prefix instead of transaction for the past 2 days :X

hmm reading serialize_rctsig_base, it looks like it just returns after writing the type. but if i interpret the next bytes (9e6a...) as a varint, i get 13598 transaction hashes

Maybe it's a big block :)

The first tx hash for that block starts with e6ad. So you seem to be one nybble out, oddly.

hmm that seems to be me decoding it by hand. adding the ringCtType field to my decoder seems to have solved it

thank you for the help :)
