I updated my bitcoin core to version 0.16.0, previously I was using v0.15.1. I created an application to send some BTC using listunspent -> createrawtransaction-> signrawtransaction -> sendrawtransaction I got this error on v.0.16.0 while using sendrawtransaction :

64: non-mandatory-script-verify-flag (Signature must be zero for failed CHECK(MULTI)SIG operation)

But my app working normaly on version 0.15.1 What is actually going on on version 0.16.0 that makes my transaction error

I decoded my raw transaction, to see if anything is wrong, I am using BTC testnet

  • That error just means the signature is invalid. Did signrawtransaction succeed and produce a fully signed transaction?

  • yes it's succeed on raw transaction. And I forgot to mention, v.0.16.0 need redeemScript on signrawtransaction, on v.0.15.1 I don't need that, it's that the culprit ?

  • If you're spending outputs on P2SH-P2WPK addresses (which are default on Bitcoin Core 0.16) you need a redeemscript to sign, yes. Are you perhaps supplying an incorrect one?

  • I am sure I supplied the correct one, can you check my decoded rawtransaction above ? I provide one using testnet transaction

  • The scriptSigs of your transaction are completely empty which means that no redeemScript was provided nor are there any signatures.

I encountered the same issue, to resolve I resorted to starting the bitcoind daemon using the following flag:

-deprecatedrpc=signrawtransaction

I am now looking for a better solution.

  • In v0.17 / master, signrawtransaction was split into signrawtransavtionwithkey and signrawtransactionwithwallet. This is not OP's problem.

  • @peterwuille signrawtransactionwithwallet there is a typo in your comment (the v should be a c) (it won't let me suggest an edit)
