Is represented as an outpoint: a pair of transaction ID as byte[32] and output index as a uint16.
The ID of a message is computed as the hash of:
- the sender address as
byte[32], - the recipient address as
byte[32], - the Message nonce as
byte[32], - the amount being sent with the message as
uint64, - the message data as
byte[]
hash(byte[32] ++ byte[32] ++ byte[32] ++ uint64 ++ byte[]). The address values are serialized as a byte array of length 32 left-padded with zeroes, and all other value types are serialized according to the standard transaction serialization. Note that the message data length is not included since there is only one dynamically sized field and can be implicitly determined by the hash preimage size.
The nonce value for InputMessage is determined by the sending system and is published at the time the message is sent. The nonce value for OutputMessage is computed as the hash of the Transaction ID that emitted the message and the index of the message receipt uint16 (with canonical encoding): hash(byte[32] ++ canonical(uint16)).
The UTXO ID of collected fees in a block is the block height as a 32-byte big-endian unsigned integer (i.e. the first byte of the 32-byte array is the most significant byte, and so on).
