I am very new to Bitcoin development and trying to make some personal milestones, one of which is broadcasting a transaction to the testnet. However, I am having a hard time due to the following error. I tried to debug myself, and have been googling a while, but could not find a post specifically mentioning this error message. I believe there have been an infinite number of transaction related question here, so I was reluctant to upload yet another, but I could not solve it myself. :(
This is the error message I am getting when I push my transaction to https://blockstream.info/testnet/tx/push
{"code":-26,"message":"mandatory-script-verify-flag-failed (Public key is neither compressed or uncompressed)"}
My transaction is composed of ordinary pay-to-pubkey-hash scripts, sending some bitcoin to a wallet and myself. It looks like this:
0x01000000013b9b28d08f63b37326c0d13896aaf8a05102e3a4478a44ca3ebbd1659197f594010000001976a91

Assuming from the error message, I guess the issue should be in the input script. (The length is 0x6a)
0x483045022100b91b2ec7604d4bc64d9a912b47ebca09d41c23250f87d7252fe55f54a891e8c5022073fdab46d21014c01ca90abbff66bb797d66e48968db82758f5d81ceb2b413f1012003eefbe8bcf8cc9d3f4b5aeb632ea64a7c7b9190fbf4d87e659d2516c01e50e8
which I could parse into a locking script
0x03eefbe8bcf8cc9d3f4b5aeb632ea64a7c7b9190fbf4d87e659d2516c01e50e8
which is further parsed into
X: 0xeefbe8bcf8cc9d3f4b5aeb632ea64a7c7b9190fbf4d87e659d2516c01e50e8
Y: 0xe1e61bc26c7b62f3639e5a0fc61f64d05dabf35249473bc6d91c607493b397ad
It looks like the public key is valid.
On the other hand, for the unlocking script,
0x3045022100b91b2ec7604d4bc64d9a912b47ebca09d41c23250f87d7252fe55f54a891e8c5022073fdab46d21014c01ca90abbff66bb797d66e48968db82758f5d81ceb2b413f101
I could verify the transaction myself using a signature hash z=0x450e73dd9d2a81e316abeb238f8192a0df09fefdac707de6eac2aed94c493419
so to me it looks like a valid transaction with compressed public key. What am I missing here? Could anyone help me debugging this?
Thank you in advance!
