I'm using this code to send transactions in test network(Morden):
var transactionObject = {
to: '**addresses are below**',
gasPrice: 22000000000,
gas: 42000,
value: 1
}
var callback = function(error, result) {
if (!error) {
console.log(result);
}
else {
console.log(error);
}
}
web3.eth.sendTransaction(transactionObject, callback)
- Address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001
- Gas used: 24000
- Txhash: 0x18e5810b87b2fc22f1e2493643d13c94510938a6c4f4b857fad8072e374ac63c
- Additional: Consumed more than usual gas. This is not a contract address.
- Address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002
- Gas used: 21060
- Txhash: 0xde9cc279c1a5e03915f202ddf3f1893d2f8ea9cd4c1baadf214ee4aaedb81390
- Additional: Consumed more than usual gas. This is not a contract address.
- Address: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000003
- Gas used: 21600
- Txhash: 0x6669cf3f54f727ca1485e104b691760e985e57cc2dc511218d124f3edf9f158a
- Additional: etherscan.io shows that this address received only one transaction(my transaction with value 1 wei), but the the balance of this address is 8 wei. How is that possible?
- Address: 0x4fdd50D0FFd2D430b0181a9c2882FEbc87b79F40
- Gas used: 21000
- Txhash: 0x8aee5c80edbc5fe8bbfef13a0693d6a4752a44443131597d960e95673b2e19cf
- Additional: Transaction to a normal looking address consumed a normal amount of gas.
Why do transactions to certain addresses(not contract addresses) consume more gas? I have a hunch that these addresses are used for something special. If so, where can I get the list of this special addresses?
