Attempting to use Blockcypher's /txs/send endpoint using detailed here: https://www.blockcypher.com/dev/bitcoin/#creating-transactions and I'm getting the following error:
Error validating generated transaction: Error running script for input 0 referencing 5bf99cd9191700eb9c324a00dee0ac857b804f63c391490d9c21036e4c78ac73 at 0: Script was NOT verified successfully.
Searched far and wide and can't find a reasonable solution.
I generate the transaction successufully and here's a copy of my TX:

For context I use the following signing tool provided by them to do the signing:
https://github.com/blockcypher/btcutils/tree/master/signer
It's a go binary which I complie and run by logging in through SSH using phpseclib in the following manner:
protected function create_new_transaction()
{
$input = [["wallet_name" => $this->wallet_name, "wallet_token" => self::token]];
$output = [["addresses" => ["$this->destination"], "value" => (int)$this->value]];
$api_settings = $this->api_settings('/v1/btc/test3/txs/new?token=' . self::token . '&inputs=' . $input . '&outputs=' . $output, 'POST', TRUE, array('token' => self::token, 'inputs' => $input, 'outputs' => $output));
$result = \GuzzleHttp\json_decode($api_settings, true);
$to_sign = $result['tosign'];
$inputs = $result['tx']['inputs'];
// hex encoded arrays of values
$public_keys_hex = $private_keys_hex = $addresses_hex = $signatures = array();
foreach ($inputs as $value) {
$profile = new Profile();
$profile->address = $value['addresses'][0];
$address_lookup = $profile->single_address_lookup();
if ($address_lookup['status']) {
array_push($public_keys_hex, bin2hex($address_lookup['address_data'][0]['public_key']));
array_push($private_keys_hex, bin2hex($address_lookup['address_data'][0]['private_key']));
array_push($addresses_hex, bin2hex($address_lookup['address_data'][0]['address']));
} else return [
'status' => false,
'message' => 'failed to retrieve address data'
];
}
foreach ($to_sign as $index => $sign) {
$signature = $this->sign_payload($sign, $private_keys_hex[$index]);
array_push($signatures, str_replace("\n", "", $signature));
}
$result += ['signatures' => $signatures];
$result += ['pubkeys' => $public_keys_hex];
return empty($result) ? [
'status' => false,
'message' => "invalid response"
] : [
'status' => true,
'message' => $result
];
}
The actual sign_payload function:
private function sign_payload($to_sign, $private_key)
{
$ssh = new Net_SSH2('[ip_address]');
if (!$ssh->login('root', '[password]')) {
exit('ssh connect failure');
}
return $ssh->exec("cd /var/www/vhosts/[domain_name]/httpdocs/btcutils/signer\n./signer " . $to_sign . " " . $private_key);
}
I'm completely lost and I'd appreciate some help regarding this. PS: Tried reaching Blockcypher but they never reply emails, and there's very limited information regarding this online.
On the Blockcypher docs there's this comment:
One of the most common errors we see are users who use uncompressed public keys when compressed public keys were used to generate the address; remember to be careful to use the right keys!
I don't know what that means, and I would like some clarification. Would also like to know if that is causing my issue.
Thanks a lot.
