Hi I check that in the blockchain.info or blockr.io or other block explorer when checking one transaction ( not my own wallet transaction ) I could see the return value of "block_height" which can be use to count the transaction confirmation using block_count - block_height.
I have my own bitcoin node with -txindex enabled and I add additional txindex=1 in the conf.
But when using "bitcoin-cli decoderawtransaction " the parameters was never there.
How do I turn on that ? Or is it a custom made code ?
Bitcoind run under Ubuntu 14.04 x64bit version 0.11.0 I disable the wallet function and install using https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-server/blob/master/HOWTO.md
The decoderawtransaction command just decodes the transaction, that is, it makes the transaction human readable.
Any other (though useful) information which is not related to the raw structure of a transaction is not shown.
If you need further info, you might use getrawtransaction <tx hash> 1, which returns both the result of decoderawtransaction and some additional info, such as:
bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 6263f1db6112a21771bb44f242a282d04313bbda5ed8b517489bd51aa48f7367 1
