litecoin-cli giving false information? :/

[quantaf1re]

Hey guys, got a strange one here... I've been parsing Litecoin through the whole blockchain and have run into errors with a couple of transactions. Basically, it gives mostly false data - there are no inputs, value is wrong etc. Strangely, the txid is the same as the hash (which it shouldn't be - calling this tx with the 'true' txid is what pulls this data and shows the incorrect txid in the result). Maybe because there's no witness data in this result? Just guessing there.
The other strange thing is that I have 2 nodes running. Both nodes are returning the same incorrect information for the same tx's. They return the data perfectly fine for other tx's. I highly doubt that's a coincidence, but I thought a node is supposed to gather data from 8 other nodes when syncing the chain? My nodes are physically very close, so my only thought is that the 2nd node got all (or most) of its block from my 1st node?
I'm running litecoin-0.16.0-x86_64-linux-gnu downloaded from the website
To reproduce - just run the same rpc commands
2 Examples.
Example 1:
txid = a4b7fd54fe5f149ca34f248696fe706bcf9c358d47b6cee0d18bcbeee9db3dbd

Thanks in advance for any help working out what the issue is here! :slight_smile:

Hey @quantaf1re,

decoderawtransaction has a 2nd parameter for setting whether or not the transaction is a serialised witness transaction, in this example it is, so setting this to true will give you the correct output. If it is not specified, it will attempt to use heuristics to parse it.
