I am trying to parse all transactions.
I found that some transactions do not have addresses in their vout.
There are two situations that vout does not have addresses.
The first one is the miner reward.
For example, run this:
bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 4bec1175f9682fc10118bbb146d1def8fd82fdffdf27da8beea327469f79b2b0 true
Here is the result:

You can see there is no addresses field in the first and only object of vout.
The second one is not a miner reward.
For example, run this:
bitcoin-cli getrawtransaction 4caea993e7caa859840a8ebac457c31420bb4fb79b528d870556c5a2eec5da7a true

You can see there is no addresses field in the second object of vout.
Please explain this or provide some keyword for me to search! Thank you guys!
