<p>The txid and blockhash are clearly different. It appears that you are confusing the <code>hash</code> field for the <code>blockchash</code> field. The <code>hash</code> field is still just the hash of the transaction, not the hash of the block containing the transaction. Since this transaction is not a segwit transaction, the <code>hash</code> and <code>txid</code> will be the same. If this transaction were segwit (i.e. contains a segwit input), then the <code>hash</code> will be different from the <code>txid</code>.</p>

so in conclusion, txid and hash keys are absolutely the same thing? and my pastebin is a correct output?

They are not always the same thing, but in this case they are the same thing. The output of the command is correct.

sorry for bothering you further, but shouldn't  **txid** represent the transaction hash, and **hash** represent the hash of the block?

I reread the answer and get it now, sorry for additional questions. Thank you!

<p>After building litecoin v0.15.1rc1 client on Ubuntu 16.04 I wanted to build an app that uses Litecoin. But I stumbled upon something odd (at least to me).</p>

<p>I did the following command: <code>./litecoin-cli getrawtransaction 716aba3806b7737f5152af0079c73d20b924a4c1b679026feac42205e06d9f5b 1</code> </p>

<p>I saw that transaction hash and block hash are absolutely the same. Can someone explain this? I can paste the whole output if requested.</p>

<p>Thank you in advance!</p>

<p>EDIT: this transaction is a testnet transaction</p>

Are you sure you're on the right chain? I don't see a tx or block for `716aba3806b7737f5152af0079c73d20b924a4c1b679026feac42205e06d9f5b` on the litecoin chain

@Micic The txid and blockhash are clearly different: `"txid": "716aba3806b7737f5152af0079c73d20b924a4c1b679026feac42205e06d9f5b",` `"blockhash": "bb55f8d0463ddf6b1c854286a2f1911ab590ed154ef502406f28fd0a01e52238",`. Are you confusing `hash` for `blockchash`?

# Litecoin - same transaction hash and block hash

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-04-06)

After building litecoin v0.15.1rc1 client on Ubuntu 16.04 I wanted to build an app that uses Litecoin. But I stumbled upon something odd (at least to me).

I did the following command: `./litecoin-cli getrawtransaction 716aba3806b7737f5152af0079c73d20b924a4c1b679026feac42205e06d9f5b 1`

I saw that transaction hash and block hash are absolutely the same. Can someone explain this? I can paste the whole output if requested.

Thank you in advance!

The txid and blockhash are clearly different. It appears that you are confusing the `hash` field for the `blockchash` field. The `hash` field is still just the hash of the transaction, not the hash of the block containing the transaction. Since this transaction is not a segwit transaction, the `hash` and `txid` will be the same. If this transaction were segwit (i.e. contains a segwit input), then the `hash` will be different from the `txid`.

> **username_0**: so in conclusion, txid and hash keys are absolutely the same thing? and my pastebin is a correct output?  
> **username_2**: They are not always the same thing, but in this case they are the same thing. The output of the command is correct.  
> **username_0**: sorry for bothering you further, but shouldn't  **txid** represent the transaction hash, and **hash** represent the hash of the block?  
> **username_0**: I reread the answer and get it now, sorry for additional questions. Thank you!
