Overview

The following transaction: 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

when passed to sendrawtransaction(), generates the following error:
error code: -26 error message: non-mandatory-script-verify-flag (Signature must be zero for failed CHECK(MULTI)SIG operation) (code 64)

The bitcoin source seems to suggest the transaction's rejected for being non-standard: my transaction was based on the developer example at https://bitcoin.org/en/developer-examples#p2sh-multisig which I thought would be standard, and the error occurs on testnet where I thought the related isStandard() checks are turned off.

I am looking for insight into where I've managed to go wrong!

Detail: code, output, conf files, versions, transaction decode, redeem script decode

I have rewritten the developer example as a self-contained bash script that resets regtest back to a known state then works through the snippets, or attempts to run on testnet. Where necessary, the calls have been adjusted to reflect API changes such as signtransactionwithkey vs signtransaction:

Many thanks if you got down this far. You're great! Clearly I've misunderstood something. But what?

It looks like in the signrawtransactionwithkey stage that your are setting the amount to be signed to be :

"amount": '$AMOUNT2'

If I followed your flow correctly, that is the amount that you want to send by redeeming the utxo. If so, this is incorrect. You need to sign the amount amount of the utxo itself (the one in the funding transaction).

  • @AlistairMann: You can accept the answer, however; click the check mark on the left. Commented Dec 15, 2018 at 16:31
  • Your answer is exactly right, and I'm sorry I'm not allowed to +1 you; the script now completes properly both on regtest and testnet. I'll elaborate beneath. Commented Dec 15, 2018 at 16:32
  • Good to hear! Don't worry about the +1 :)

@arubi has posted the correct answer, many thanks to him.

For anyone else in future, my mistake was in both the above signrawtransactionwithkey() calls where I used the amount I wanted to send FROM the p2sh address when the parameter requires the amount sent TO the address. On reflection this should have been obvious: all the other values in the second parameter are inputs, and I was adding an output.

I've uploaded the corrected code and the output from a regtest and testnet run to https://github.com/Csi18nAlistairMann/bitcoin-p2sh-multisig-example
