Actually, you are right!! I had a typo in my concat function, so it wan’t concatenating every byte in the right place. I fixed that and now it works.

I do wonder, on the topic of the official algorand-SDKs and the algoexplorer free public API. Could you please create examples for that specific use case? That way people don’t have to REST API directly making the request and parsing the data directly.
