12:50:55 <asymptotically> 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
12:50:56 <asymptotically> https://termbin.com/iu4c
12:51:15 <asymptotically> 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
12:51:49 <asymptotically> can anyone tell what i'm doing wrong? thanks :)
13:08:12 <moneromooo> I think what you read as number of tx hashes is the rct signature type. Here, "none".
13:10:51 <asymptotically> ahhh thank you, can't believe i've been looking just at transaction_prefix instead of transaction for the past 2 days :X
13:12:24 <asymptotically> 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
13:12:40 <moneromooo> Maybe it's a big block :)
13:13:36 <moneromooo> The first tx hash for that block starts with e6ad. So you seem to be one nybble out, oddly.
13:16:05 <asymptotically> hmm that seems to be me decoding it by hand. adding the ringCtType field to my decoder seems to have solved it
13:16:08 <asymptotically> thank you for the help :)
