I’m running bitcoin core and using the commands getblockstats and gettxoutsetinfo.
I ran gettxoutsetinfo at block 770992 and it showed a total of 83,420,287 unspent transaction outputs. I then waited for block 770993 to appear and ran getblockstats for that block.
In getblockstats it shows a utxo_increase field, which is the difference between the outs and ins fields (outputs created – outputs consumed). For block 770993 it showed -603.
I ran gettxoutsetinfo at block 770993 and it shows a total of 83,419,633 utxos. Why doesn’t it match up?
I tested it for a couple previous blocks as well and the same thing happened. Any ideas?
