I'm trying to push the following transaction but keep getting OP_EQUALVERIFY: non-equal data

Here's the transaction

010000000122b2853f3145d35a56fc52cacda7d5ffe7e8f76b9fc2aecd312c899f5e41671a000000008c493046022100e484f5550ced311af2efb111237a54d0d93e68ac03ed5d084c669ae69afc36c902210087e69ce39c91936a4ec6fd66fb3b98d920a5ce4c3660a5519f9aa802787b09bb0141047920bd57b7b0dbf7ac242879ee1f1c4b87cbe30a1c31baa4d111850865042415d84f0a433174b3b17f41e280bfef85ff885dd8a1f25bf0823cfd77ec81bfc080ffffffff0101000000000000001976a914221382696ab041ff0bce2aceeea15132d9336fd488ac00000000

And here it is decoded

   "inputs":[
      {

         },

    Your value is also incorrect, this transaction if valid would destroy your money into fees. Use the testnet for experimenting with Bitcoin or you have a very high risk of losing your money.

This particular error message on bc.i means that the transaction is invalid due to OP_EQUALVERIFY operation failed

scriptSig is:

493046022100e484f5550ced311af2efb111237a54d0d93e68ac03ed5d084c669ae69afc36c902210087e69ce39c91936a4ec6fd66fb3b98d920a5ce4c3660a5519f9aa802787b09bb01
41047920bd57b7b0dbf7ac242879ee1f1c4b87cbe30a1c31baa4d111850865042415d84f0a433174b3b17f41e280bfef85ff885dd8a1f25bf0823cfd77ec81bfc080

So the public key is:

047920bd57b7b0dbf7ac242879ee1f1c4b87cbe30a1c31baa4d111850865042415d84f0a433174b3b17f41e280bfef85ff885dd8a1f25bf0823cfd77ec81bfc080

This is uncompressed public key and its address is 1Lj3WeRAmyN98jyiWE6AtnMKfzUzrPUL9z

But 1a67415e9f892c31cdaec29f6bf7e8e7ffd5a7cdca52fc565ad345313f85b222:0 sends bitcoins to the another address: 1LCrg6DSqbcK5vh7XRAGEQA4jBpNigjwyV

Are you sure that you use uncompressed public key instead of compressed one?

  • So I'm using bitcoinlib-js to build the transactions for me. I don't actually set the public key, they derive it from my public key. I'll look into this though.

  • Can I ask how you derived the public key from the scriptSig please- i cannot find a way how to do it

  • Peter, scriptSig for p2pkh-outputs has very simple structure: two push operations. First push is signature+hashtype. Second push is pubkey.
