There is some description here: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/11411/in-getrawtransaction-what-is-the-vout-integer-in-the-vin-list

A single transaction can pay multiple places. Blockchain.info just displays them in a random order that changes whenever you load the page, but they actually have a fixed position in the transaction and you (well, your computer) must know this position when it makes a new transaction spending that coin, so the position is important.

Oh sorry I'm a new here... Is there any artcle describing what is a vout?
also, if this is not a bug, mind locking the thread?

It would be nice to perhaps have an option not to have it appended (I also find it to be annoying to have to always remove the trailing -000 when looking up on blockchain.info although I guess they could strip it off at their end if they wanted to).

As it is clearly not a bug you should update the title of this topic.

This isn't a bug, it's telling you which vout is paying you.

I just found a bug!
In the transactions tab, when you right click on a trascaction and click copy transaction id, the program copies
this:
Code:
ce038ec41bf1f5e6a571918ac99f26bd26eb8995b14cf45b8f069cf48c642343-000
do you see the -000 at the end?
blockchain.info doesn't recognise the address, unless I remove the -000 at the end.


version:
Bitcoin version v0.8.3-beta

note that I messed up the letters so that the trasnaction is not recogniseable.
