I need to discover ways to calculate the Merkle root so I began from a easy instance, a block with solely 2 transactions (block #99997). Nonetheless, I bumped into an issue.
Mempool on-line block explorer says that the Merkle root of this block is: 5140e5972f672bf8e81bc189894c55a410723b095716eaeec845490aed785f0e.
Nonetheless, I get the totally different worth.
Two transactions are contained contained in the block #99997 and their TXID are:
I did the next steps:
- concatenation of transaction IDs
(outcome:b86f5ef1da8ddbdb29ec269b535810ee61289eeac7bf2b2523b494551f03897c80c6f121c3e9fe0a59177e49874d8c703cbadee0700a782e4002e87d862373c6) - SHA256 of the outcome from the step 1 (outcome:
e08d8ecc5a02b113bea1e7e2786b8235ddb5ab6058910f30b4d966b30e484bda) - SHA256 of the outcome from the step 2 (outcome:
5ab58ee21a1ae7476d59e6b7ddb05a80e8b42a4bf5748e9c5db9eb860b2bd040)
As you may see I acquired the totally different worth for the Merkle root than the one introduced on the Mempool web site.
Mine: 5ab58ee21a1ae7476d59e6b7ddb05a80e8b42a4bf5748e9c5db9eb860b2bd040
Their: 5140e5972f672bf8e81bc189894c55a410723b095716eaeec845490aed785f0e
What am I doing unsuitable?
