PaperSword: people were repeatedly opening bug reports that they got a confusing error when trying to getrawtransaction the genesis coinbase transaction

Ty for your response, my reasoning for even asking is indexing clients such as electrs that back mempool.space and other services can use a litemode, which will call the core rpc for tx data when it's needed instead of storing it in it's own index.
<PaperSword>
So any time someone wants to see the contents of the genesis block, it fetches blocks with a verbosity of 1, then looks at the list of TXIDs, tries to fetch. Then error -5
<PaperSword>
I just for the sake of diving into this a bit deeper just removed the check for the CB transaction ID to throw the error. Is there a different error that people got before this?
<instagibbs>
going from people spamming unspendable p2tr outputs to not is the goal of hte discussion here, and OP_RETURN relaxation seems to do it for this case
<PaperSword>
OP_RETURN doesn't give discount + lower max payload.
<instagibbs>
they're willing to pay for the output bytes, so we can narrow the scope of the discussion to that case
<PaperSword>
"No such mempool or blockchain transaction. Use gettransaction for wallet transactions." is the previous error
<PaperSword>
Yeah it's much worse than the new error
<PaperSword>
Overall good work
