  "vsize" : n,            (numeric) The virtual transaction size (differs from size for witness transactions)
  "weight" : n,           (numeric) The transaction's weight (between vsize*4 - 3 and vsize*4)
  "version" : n,          (numeric) The version
  "locktime" : ttt,       (numeric) The lock time
  "vin" : [               (array of json objects)
