how to see the list of offers from chain

Question

Hi,

1. How to view all the offers created in a chain

2. When we go through the create, appendrawexchange and decodeexchange commands, we will have to process these commands from the hex and long hex parameters. Is there anyway to retrieve these hex values from the chain so that we could decode the offers later.

Please suggest.

Answer 1

The creation of an exchange offer with createrawexchange is not a blockchain-level event, but rather just the act of preparing a partially signed partial transaction that can be passed to other parties for completion. If you want to distribute these offers over the chain, you have a natural ability to do so using a stream - just enter the hexadecimal payload into the data field of a published stream item, then other nodes can read it. This should answer both of your questions!

Thanks. I am using stream already as you suggested...
