General Discussion / Re: Any block explorer site that can look up a transaction by txid?
« on: October 27, 2015, 09:40:39 pm »There are several things going on here.
1. Given a Transaction ID you want to find the Transaction.
2. You want to know which Block the transaction was included in.
It would be relatively simple to add this to the existing API *except* that the node running with this feature enabled would require extra RAM.
I don't need 2 at all, I just need 1, but for any transaction.
I certainly wouldn't advise storing such a map in ram; this is a prime candidate for a database.
Just because you know the transaction from the ID doesn't mean you know it is VALID.
