Topic: need explanation of "vout" from listunspent output (Read 1102 times)
Thanks mate. You really helped me. I did not find your bitcoin address in profile - you can send me PM, I'll send you some tips
Second question - to use "vout" in createrawtransaction I should use the same value as I found in listunspent ?
If that's the output that you want to spend.
Why this vout cant be extracted from txid in createrawtransaction command?
Because an transaction (identified with the txid) can have multiple outputs. If you don't specify which output you intend to spend, then the transaction can't be built.
I have in listunpsent vout with "33", and what if I put 0 instead of 33 in createrawtransaction ?
Then you would be attempting to spend the first output from the transaction instead of the 34th output. If you don't have the private key that is associated with the address that the first output used, then you won't be able to sign the transaction and therefore won't be able to transmit a valid transaction.

It identifies a specific output from a transaction (transactions can have multiple outputs).
The first output is vout: 0
The second output is vout: 1
The third output is vout: 2
The fourth output is vout: 3
and so on...
