Bitcoin: Nonstandard type script’s address [duplicate]

Expressing Unusual Bitcoin Transaction Results with Unique Addresses

When dealing with unusual event results, identifying and decoding the corresponding script addresses can be difficult. In this article, we will look at a method for expressing transaction results in a human-readable format, especially for unique addresses that cannot be uniquely identified using standard blockchain mining tools.

Understanding Unusual Event Results

Unusual transaction results are generated by the Bitcoin script system using ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) and the Script Object. The “txid” field contains the identifier of the output script, while subsequent scripts represent individual actions such as transactions or payments.

When dealing with unusual results containing a large number of scripts, identifying specific scripts and their corresponding addresses can be difficult. This is where our approach comes in – using unique address formats that are less commonly used.

Disclosure of anomalous event output

We use the following methods to mark anomalous event outputs with unique addresses:

• Script-prefix-encoding: Instead of using the “txid” code to prefix scripts, we use a unique identifier to represent each script. We create a merge output between the script id and its corresponding script index.

• Script signature format: We modify the script signature format by adding an additional field that stores the unique address.

Here is an example of what this might look like:

1 - 0x00000000 (transaction id)
| 2 - script_index
| 3 - op_0x00000001 (op_code) = 0x00000001
| 4 - op_0x00000002 (op_code) = 0x00000008
| 5 - sum_0x0000001f (sum)
| 6 - script_0x00000003 (script_0_0x00000003) = address_0x00000003
2 - 0x00000000 (transaction_id)
| 3 - 0x00000001 (op_code) = op_0x00000001
| 4 - 0x00000002 (op_code) = op_0x00000008
| 5 - sum_0x0000001f (sum)
| 6 - script_0x00000003 (script_0_0x00000003) = address_0x00000003
2 - 0x00000000 (transaction_id)
| 3 - 0x00000001 (op_code) = op_0x00000001
| 4 - 0x00000002 (op_code) = op_0x00000008
| 5 - sum_0x0000001f (sum)
| 6 - script_0x00000003 (script_0_0x00000003) = address_0x00000003
...

In this encoding, each printed script is represented by a unique identifier (txid), followed by its corresponding op_code, amount, and then an additional field to store the unique address.

Example use case

To demonstrate this approach in practice, let’s look at a custom event output containing multiple scripts:

1 - 0x00000000 (transaction_id)
| 2 - script_index_0
| 3 - op_0x00000001 (op_code) = 0x00000001
| 4 - sum_0x0000001f (sum)
| 5 - script_0x00000003 (script_0_0x00000003) = address_0x00000003
2 - 0x00000000 (transaction_id)
| 3 - 0x00000001 (op_code) = op_0x00000001
| 4 - sum_0x0000001f (sum)
| 5 - script_0x00000004 (script_0_0x00000004) = address_0x00000005
...

In this example, the “op_code” of the first output script is “0x00000001”, while the “op_code” of the second output script is “0x00000008”. The corresponding amounts are stored in different fields of each output script.

By using a unique address format, we can express non-standard transaction results in a way that is easy to read and understand, making it easier to analyze and visualize the data.

Conclusion

Expressing non-standard Bitcoin transactions using unique addresses requires creativity and a bit of script magic. By applying script prefix encoding and modifying the script signature format, we can create a mapping between output scripts and their corresponding addresses. This approach allows for more efficient data analysis and visualization, making it easier to identify patterns and trends across the internet.
