@ -25,21 +25,6 @@ What is the transaction "payload"?
This is just the bytecode "data" sent along with the request.
Is there a decompiler available?
================================
There is no exact decompiler to Solidity, but
`Porosity <https://github.com/comaeio/porosity>`_ is close.
Because some information like variable names, comments, and
source code formatting is lost in the compilation process,
it is not possible to completely recover the original source code.
Bytecode can be disassembled to opcodes, a service that is provided by
several blockchain explorers.
Contracts on the blockchain should have their original source
code published if they are to be used by third parties.
Create a contract that can be killed and return funds

Information like variable names, comments, and source code formatting is lost in the compilation process and it is not possible to completely recover the original source code. Decompiling smart contracts to view the original source code might not be possible, or the end result that useful.
