Additional data into RPC Client transaction input reply

[Sykh]

When you ask the client for a block you get all the transactions, you then call get_transaction to get the inputs and outputs, the inputs don't have an amount tho, you have to look up the input transactions hashes aswell and parse their value - would it be possible to do this client side and just add an amount to inputs too?

That's from block 113:

The trouble here is the TransactionInput doesn't always have that data. It can have that data, see:

message TransactionInput {
  bytes spec_hash = 1;
  bytes src_tx_id = 2;
  int32 src_tx_out_idx = 3;
  int64 value = 4; // SIP4 - Optional - if set (non-zero) transaction validation will enforce
                   // this value being accurate.
}

However, most things building transactions don't set that value. So it involves some db look ups to get the input values. It isn't impossible of course but it is slower.

Well either you have to do the db lookups or i have to do them via another rpc call or an internal db...i would prefer having the client doing it :D
