The only way to know is to run the Bitcoin program. This was explained in
the original Bitcoin whitepaper: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf As long as
the transaction follows all of the rules, and spends a valid Bitcoin as
input to the transaction, and the transaction has been "mined" into blocks
in the blockchain, then the bitcoin payment is considered successful by the
Bitcoin network, consisting of nodes running the Bitcoin software-
