22:00:33 <Rucknium[m]> Using RPC, what is a good way to get the number of bytes-on-disk of a specific transaction from monerod? I could use the onion-monero-blockchain-explorer API, but I would prefer not to rely on external software.
22:05:30 <moneromoooo> Ask for the hex dump if it, it's half that string's size.
22:06:19 <Rucknium[m]> Thanks!
22:20:58 <afungible[m]> Found this..
22:20:58 <afungible[m]> https://www.getmonero.org/resources/developer-guides/daemon-rpc.html#get_transactions
22:20:58 <afungible[m]> Input: tx hash to look up
22:20:58 <afungible[m]> Output: "txs_as_hex" returns full txn info as a hex string.
22:57:46 <Rucknium[m]> For coinbase transactions, txs_as_hex is an empty string, but pruned_as_hex seems to have the hex dump of the coinbase transaction. Is that correct? The node I am querying is not pruned.
23:47:43 <afungible[m]> My guess is that coinbase does not have an input txn, so "txs_as_hex" field returns empty string.
23:47:43 <afungible[m]> Not sure about it being dumped to "pruned_as_hex", when node itself is not pruned. Maybe our implementation tackles it differently.
