Topic: How to see transaction size when creating raw transactions? (Read 374 times)
Thank you!
Both the createrawtransaction and signrawtransaction commands should give you the "hex" output of the transaction. The number of characters in that hex string divided by 2 should equal the the transaction size in bytes... as a byte is represented as 2 characters.
For instance, take this raw transaction:
Length = 452... so the transaction size = 226 bytes.
You can also use the decoderawtransaction command and it will output the JSON of the transaction and you can see the "size" and/or "vsize" elements at the top:
For instance, take this raw transaction:
Code:

After I successfully created and signed a raw transaction with bitcoind-cli, is there a way to see the size of it in bytes, the one that is used for fee per byte calculations?
