The getblocktemplate RPC API will return txid and hash fields for every transaction entry. But they are the same value. So I want to know what's the difference and whether these double fields are necessary or not .

Hi @qshuai, have a look at the output of:
```
bitcoin-cli help getblocktemplate
```
and this link:
