It seems that transaction does not contain the original gif file. It seems it contains MD5 signature of the external file.

It seems that "MR]-0@_/DWc1f4bdafcc8cdf154021f28712c3d633,6f03bb2a4ee318736a7899ad2405a415," is some sort of data formatting for saving file signatures.

Ahhh, is that what it is. I couldn't figure out what the md5 hashes were about. Must be a similar approach, using the md5 hashes as indexes.

I wonder if the preceding binary is what protobuf gets boiled down to:

1. Only CompressionMethod and Data fields are required. Compression method can be set to "None" (means no compression).

from https://github.com/foo1inge/datacoin-browser/blob/master/perl/envelope.proto#L34

Unless bytestamp use their own scheme.
