The multiply-by-seven example from the JSON-RPC documentation
Context
Deployed in November 2015 on the Frontier chain, with a compiler that was already a year out of date by then.
Key Facts
Description
One function that takes a number and returns it multiplied by seven. It is the contract the Ethereum JSON-RPC and web3 documentation used to demonstrate eth_call and ABI encoding, so it exists to be called rather than to do anything. This deployment was produced by the PoC-8 era cpp-ethereum compiler, which reports itself as version 0.8.2 and emits a twelve byte constructor prologue with no memory pointer setup, so Etherscan has no compiler that can verify it.
