Understanding the Bitcoin Transaction Creation Procedure: Is the user specification important?
As it moves through the complex world of Bitcoin transactions, it is crucial to understand the basic mechanics and mode of operation enters the output. In this article, we will explore the specifics of the transaction creation procedure, with an emphasis on whether the user specification is required.
Basics: utxos and get out
In Bitcoin, transactions are created by using unused exit transactions (UTXOS). These exits represent the means that other users have spent in previous transactions. When creating a new transaction, users choose a certain UTXOS that include as the entrances (ie their coins) and others that include as exits (ie recipient coins).
Procedure to create a transaction
When the user creates a bitcoin transaction, they usually follow these steps:
- Entry Select : The user selects one or more entry UTXOS from his wallet. These entries contain funds that the sender will spend in exchange for UTXO exit.
- Exit output : The user selects one or more UTXOS outputs that includes as exits. These exits represent the recipient coins and are used to receive payment.
- Entry and output connection : The transaction is then merged with a list of existing transactions in Blockchain, including the inputs and exits.
Is a user specification important?
The answer to this question is not echoed. When creating a new transaction, users can easily choose their UTXOS entry without stating the amount they intend to spend or receive. The process of creating a transaction implicitly determines the amount using the selected UTXOS as the entrance.
In Bitcoin, each UTXO entrance has an associated “quantity” field that stores the value of the funds consumed. By selecting one UTXO entrance, users effectively specify the total amount they intend to spend in exchange for UTXO output.
Example:
Let’s say that the user wants to send 10 BTC (Bitcoin Cash) from their wallet and to the recipient B. They choose the entrance to the UTXOS from the wallet, which contain funds for this transaction and does not determine any certain amount.
When transaction creates, it enters the connection with other already existing blockchain transactions. Exits are accordingly, using the selected UTXOS input as references.
Conclusion
In short, the user specification of the amount in the process of creating transactions is not required, as implicit determination of the amount with the selected UTXOS takes care of this task. This understanding can help users move the complex bitcoin transaction landscape and optimize their transactions for better safety and efficiency.
