Working with Bitcoin-qt 0.16.3 testnet

Attempting to sendrawtransaction, however, receive following error:

Missing inputs (code -25)

From what I have read, this results from attempting to use outputs in the transaction that have already been spent.

I am confused, however, because I am explicitly using a transaction listed by listunspent. Doesn't that mean the output is unspent???

If you could point me to where I am going wrong, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's exactly my work:

listunspent

output

From your listunspent: "vout": 1,

From your createrawtransaction: "vout":2

You are trying to spend an output that doesn't exist.

  • Did you also change the vout parameter in signrawtransaction too?
