Topic: Getting Genesis Block transaction on my node (Read 636 times)

Thanks, that is a bummer...
Anyone have a reference to where it is hard coded?
You can't. The transaction actually doesn't exist in the database. I think it is actually hard coded. Since the transaction doesn't really exist, it can't be viewed by anyone through conventional means and it can't be spent at all.
I have my node (Satoshi 0.11.0) set with txindex=1
Given a random set I can pull up any transaction by TXID using getrawtransaction, however when I try to pull up the transaction in the Genesis block I get:
Code:
bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 4a5e1e4baab89f3a32518a88c31bc87f618f76673e2cc77ab2127b7afdeda33b
Code:
No information available about transaction (code -5)
I'm wondering if there is a way to get the transaction on my node?
