Multisigned transaction with external keys

Question

Greetings,

I've tried to process a multi signed transaction linked to 2 external addresses.

I've followed the two tutorials - external keys management and Multisignatures

Unfortunately after the second signature the transaction is still in the state : complete = false

The process :

- Create external keys (on each node)

- Import address (on each node)

- Create a multi sign address (using the pub keys of each addresses) on both nodes

- Issue asset for the multi sign address

- create a raw transaction (createrawsendfrom) to send asset amount to another address

- sign hexblob on first node with first external privkey

- sign output of previous op on second node with second external privacy

--> at this point the statut should be completed = yes but is not

I've tried  createrawsendfrom with and without sign parameter

Can't figure out what I did wrong. Any clue ?

Thank you

Answer 1

The most common problem in these cases is that the second signing operation is not performed on the hex blob that is given as the output for the first signing operation. It sounds like you are not making that mistake but it is worth checking again.

Apart from that it sounds like you are doing everything right. So we would need to see a more fully worked example with API requests and responses in order to pinpoint the problem.

Comments

May I suggest to inspect the signing procedure at the following stage:

- sign hexblob on first node with first external privkey

In my first I made the mistake to sign from a multisign address without specifying the redeem script and scriptpubkey.
There is specific answer about it:

Thank for replying.
Please find below the signing operations.
It seems that the output hexblob are identical which is very strange. I have also noticed that adding a multisignaddress always returns the same address value.

    mcc addmultisigaddress 2 '["03cc6d56ab3a875a8e6b4747f8b7f355f21dcbc40f4b86c44c12ce51580410e9b2", "036a45ce92b65c27b5c849e78355491c26e8af9b52220ca9f8b3b6da0946c55b13"]'

On each node returns the same output.

Thanks for that. The problem is that when you are using multisignatures AND external private keys, you need to provide additional information to signrawtransaction. See this answer: https://www.multichain.com/qa/9808/signrawtransaction-is-not-signining?show=9821#a9821

Greetings,
Thank you for your reply.
I can't figure our which of the attributes txid, vout and scriptPubKey to choose from the decoded transaction. Would you mind point out the right ones, please ?
Some combinaisons generate error code: -3
error message:
Missing redeemScript.
What does this error mean ?
