Escrow outputs show incorrect destination addresses in Blockchain.info

0

I'm interested in the following multisig transaction

3a0c283c8574205c2cc95cea0e603bfff9087af2ab0360ebd2e98740a3193a18

If I query bitcoind for information about it using the following command

 $> bitcoind getrawtransaction 3a0c283c8574205c2cc95cea0e603bfff9087af2ab0360ebd2e98740a3193a18 1

then I see that two addresses are involved in its outputs, namely

1HT7xU2Ngenf7D4yocz2SAcnNLW7rK8d4E and 1GcFhAQGFZVDAr4jiR2tKwisHcgNUjhGNC.

However, if I look up this same transaction hash on blockchain.info, located here

https://blockchain.info/tx/3a0c283c8574205c2cc95cea0e603bfff9087af2ab0360ebd2e98740a3193a18

Suddenly there are three addresses involved in the outputs, namely

17YnWEp2vjT1wEgALyy2BApY8CAMr78M7o and 1ADwCr1Ary8KX2i41MhQKL4TgkTRV6p14G and 1GcFhAQGFZVDAr4jiR2tKwisHcgNUjhGNC.

Where did the 1HT7xU2Ngenf7D4yocz2SAcnNLW7rK8d4E address go, and what are these two new addresses? I have noticed this for most of blockchain.info's multisig transactions, can they not properly parse them?

EDIT: Here it the output I get when I run 

bitcoind getrawtransaction 3a0c283c8574205c2cc95cea0e603bfff9087af2ab0360ebd2e98740a3193a18 1

Lets look carefully on https://blockchain.info/tx/3a0c283c8574205c2cc95cea0e603bfff9087af2ab0360ebd2e98740a3193a18

output #0 is msig 1-of-2 to { 0336aa4df526a776e2b72512bb65d8ad5c661360cc1de2ffe460b618c0bba6641e, 20434e5452505254590000000a00000000d806c1d5000000039dc87f4000000000 }

the first long number [0336..641e] is public key of address 1GcFhAQGFZVDAr4jiR2tKwisHcgNUjhGNC

the second [2043..0000] is not a public address at all. bc.i hashes it to an address 17YnWEp2vjT1wEgALyy2BApY8CAMr78M7o

the address 1HT7xU2Ngenf7D4yocz2SAcnNLW7rK8d4E is hash160 ( 0000...0000 ) - invalid public key

seems to me that the client converts all invalid public keys to address 1HT7xU2Ngenf7D4yocz2SAcnNLW7rK8d4E

look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=8728.msg202068#msg202068

Ah that's good to know, thanks for pointing that out. I'm surprised they haven't fixed that to return some sentinel value that draws attention to the fact that they're using an invalid address. – almel – 2014-07-09T17:49:23.827

First of all, it would have been easier if you pasted the bitcoind getrawtransaction result, which is the following:

On the above output there are three outputs which they seem to agree with blockchain.info. Biteasy.com reports the same result as well.

Are you sure you are running the latest bitcoind?

this is alarming. I edited my original post to include my output. What version of bitcoind are you running? From running the "getinfo" RPC command I see that I'm running version 90100, with protocol version 70002. – almel – 2014-07-09T17:59:56.123

Hm, I am running an older version than you on the machine I tried this. I will re-check on a more latest bitcoind. – Biteasy.com – 2014-07-09T22:05:54.273
