TxFingerprint¶
Purpose¶
The fingerprint of a transaction allows referring to a transaction succinctly and gives additional information about the provenance, primarily used by engines of the ordering machine.
Structure¶
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
collector_id |
ExternalIdentity | the ɪᴅ of the worker engine that collected the transaction |
batchNumber |
natural number | the number of the batch into which the transaction was batched |
txNumber |
natural number | the transaction number within the batch identified by the batch number |
last |
boolean | true if and only if the txNumber is the maximal one in this batch |
Note¶
We do not have any field of the hash of the referenced transaction.
A TxFingerprint is ordering information that is
only used directly within the ordering machine.
