Bitcoin: 计算Merkle Tree

在 计算Block Hash中，接触到一个变量mrkl_root，即Merkle Tree, 默克尔树.

Hash_Tree

                   A               A
                  /  \            /   \
                B     C         B       C
               / \    |        / \     / \
              D   E   F       D   E   F   G
             / \ / \ / \     / \ / \ / \ / \
             1 2 3 4 5 6     1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

我们计算下 Height 100008的mrkl_root.

这个block只有2个tx:

de2c2e8628ab837ceff3de0217083d9d5feb71f758a5d083ada0b33a36e1b30e
89878bfd69fba52876e5217faec126fc6a20b1845865d4038c12f03200793f48

计算

import hashlib

def hash256(s):
  return hashlib.new('sha256', s).digest()

def dhash256(s):
  return hash256(hash256(s))

tx1="de2c2e8628ab837ceff3de0217083d9d5feb71f758a5d083ada0b33a36e1b30e".decode('hex')[::-1]
tx2="89878bfd69fba52876e5217faec126fc6a20b1845865d4038c12f03200793f48".decode('hex')[::-1]

mrkl_tree = dhash256(tx1+tx2)
result=mrkl_tree[::-1].encode('hex')

print result

result 是 7a059188283323a2ef0e02dd9f8ba1ac550f94646290d0a52a586e5426c956c5

而这个block的mrkl_root呢?

mrkl_tree: [
"de2c2e8628ab837ceff3de0217083d9d5feb71f758a5d083ada0b33a36e1b30e",

计算正确, 最需要注意的是大小端的数据转换
