Im using bitcoin-ruby to create a raw transaction then broadcast it through block-cypher. I follow their tutorial

# use testnet so you don't accidentally blow your whole money!
Bitcoin.network = :testnet3

# make the DSL methods available in your scope
include Bitcoin::Builder

# the previous transaction that has an output to your address
prev_hash = "6c44b284c20fa22bd69c57a9dbff91fb71deddc8c54fb2f5aa41fc78c96c1ad1"

# the number of the output you want to use
prev_out_index = 0

# fetch the tx from whereever you like and parse it
prev_tx = Bitcoin::P::Tx.from_json(open("http://test.webbtc.com/tx/#{prev_hash}.json"))

# the key needed to sign an input that spends the previous output
key = Bitcoin::Key.from_base58("92ZRu28m2GHSKaaF2W7RswJ2iJYpTzVhBaN6ZLs7TENCs4b7ML8")

# create a new transaction (and sign the inputs)
new_tx = build_tx do |t|

  # add the input you picked out earlier
  t.input do |i|
    i.prev_out prev_tx
    i.prev_out_index prev_out_index
    i.signature_key key
  end

  # add an output that sends some bitcoins to another address
  t.output do |o|
    o.value 50000000 # 0.5 BTC in satoshis
    o.script {|s| s.recipient "mugwYJ1sKyr8EDDgXtoh8sdDQuNWKYNf88" }
  end

  # add another output spending the remaining amount back to yourself
  # if you want to pay a tx fee, reduce the value of this output accordingly
  # if you want to keep your financial history private, use a different address
  t.output do |o|
    o.value 49000000 # 0.49 BTC, leave 0.01 BTC as fee
    o.script {|s| s.recipient key.addr }
  end

end

# examine your transaction. you can relay it through http://test.webbtc.com/relay_tx
# that will also give you a hint on the error if something goes wrong
puts new_tx.to_json

http://test.webbtc.com/tx is no longer can use so i used blockcypher api or Blockchain.transaction(tx_id) instead.

Bitcoin.network = :testnet3
private_key = "598ba1001a580737b8f7672cb7a3e5ce3413eb508b92de3b155ca4e904423736"

prev_hash = "0ed5e5794ed9378037e76b18a92b8e562fee61fb3cbb538e42c7def1f605e442"

i fetched prev_tx infor

tx_hash = blockcypher.blockchain_transaction('0ed5e5794ed9378037e76b18a92b8e562fee61fb3cbb538e42c7def1f605e442')

then i parsed:

Bitcoin::P::Tx.from_hash(tx_hash)

but because a above hash dont have any keys such as ['previous_transaction_hash'] or ['prev_out'] https://github.com/lian/bitcoin-ruby/blob/master/lib/bitcoin/protocol/txin.rb#L99 then i got error

NoMethodError: undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
bitcoin/protocol/txin.rb:99:in `from_hash'

Do we have any solutions for this problems.

I also tried import from hex transaction string but sometime this way is not work should i do like this way.

I get hex_transaction using

https://testnet.blockchain.info/tx/0ed5e5794ed9378037e76b18a92b8e562fee61fb3cbb538e42c7def1f605e442?format=hex
Bitcoin::P::Tx.new('0100000000010146da16c6900cb47696feebc60860984399d1bb0c21e4be8912aa40a107ef0d450100000017160014c1d3f92a55e6506422c6550434615f2e34265ae7ffffffff0280a4bf07000000001976a91467120445f4ffdd1b9ca95b8dcd343611d65f6fb788ace2a2744c2c00000017a9144db63f2ce3412854d0718bbf0bc3e80e8a24d0de8702483045022100b6c18b7b3a3cf0689e806b2eb1dba6811d37fa152f461f60a3b1d9ec439c2aaa0220184465e4c16219f4582f48a2fcd0a214d8d56607896e86f86ffa07188807014c01210358ea03d324d68fe8164dff922a5502c297a7e91d6a97381c81d8ed121113084800000000')

I dont like hex_transaction solution then looking for a help for above issue, thanks you so much

Try to use API from testnet.blockexplorer. The sample code is below:

url = "https://testnet.blockexplorer.com/api/rawtx/#{prev_hash}"
uri = URI(url)
response = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
response = JSON.parse(response)
response = response['rawtx'].to_s
$prev_tx = Bitcoin::P::Tx.new(response.htb)
prev_tx = $prev_tx

You can use sibit, my Ruby gem:

require 'sibit'
sibit = Sibit.new
pkey = sibit.generate
address = sibit.create(pkey)
balance = sibit.balance(address)
target = sibit.create(pkey) # where to send coins to
change = sibit.create(pkey) # where the change will sent to
tx = sibit.pay(pkey, 10_000_000, 'XL', [address], target, change)
