multiple Multisig address with different addresses in the same wallet

Question

I have created two wallets. The first one has one address (a1). The second one has two addresses (b1,b2), the second was created manually with getNewAddress command.

I create a multisig address that requires 1 signature from a1 and b1. I can perform transaction from both wallets.

Then I create a multisg address that requires 1 signature from a1 and b2. I can only sign transactions from the first wallet. The second wallet gives me an incomplete transaction.

I assume that the signrawtransaction uses by default the b1 address to sign the transaction. Is this correct? If yes what can I do to sign the transactions with any of the addresses that the wallet owns?

Answer 1

I think it's a simple problem of send permissions. You cannot sign the transaction with b2 because it has not been granted send permissions on the blockchain.

Comments

It worked!
However, I was expecting to be able to sign a transaction and then fail to transmit the transaction over the network, since I wouldn't have the send permission.

---

In MultiChain, when signing a multisig with signrawtransaction, it only attempts to use addresses which have send permission.

Answer 2

It should definitely use any of the addresses in the wallet, as appropriate. Do you mind pasting the full transcript of what you're doing as a comment, so we can test this out for ourselves and understand what's happening?

I will use wallet 1 and wallet 2

Wallet 1: has 2 address
a1: 1PBsbBwPcWWziJiwNJpwgFXg4qTcLbXeyeDq35
and a multisig based on a1 and b1

Wallet 2: has 3 addresses
b1: 1BB6hwSd9jhdy11iRBfM9yCVrun9uaS3uzP27G
b2: I am generating it with the following commands
and a multisig based on a1 and b1

}

Where 03eef62494c8aab2082565c52cdffa1916b214b759769600fad1c32455dc519c9e is the Public key of wallet 1 a1

I am creating, importing and adding since i have noticed that some times i get an incomplete address (missing addresses attributes) in the wallet (maybe another post for this)

For reference the address details from both wallets

Now I am using the above data to create a raw transaction towards another address 1R45...
multichain-cli testbc createrawtransaction '[{"txid":"cbdda99164747c1723aa238933a35fcdcf48511bb68b066ab5b131772144c14b","vout":0}]' '{"1R45KnqC3VuGGHCTC6UDSkhFPCexJoTvoxsQ38":{"eur":10}, "43jRfnSKUGHFqYLLMDZkffbLBCwkHbqwFVXR7C":{"eur":40}}'

And now signing the transaction fails:
multichain-cli testbc signrawtransaction 01000000014bc144217731b1b56a068bb61b5148cfcd5fa3338923aa23177c746491a9ddcb0000000000ffffffff0200000000000000003176a914b1f768134b120056690b09f2b3d1f71be86e715e88ac1673706b716c00000009010000b5960a000000000000007500000000000000002fa9141b9f7f3e6dc3641cc9390e8a1cb1912161cbe563871673706b716c00000009010000b59628000000000000007500000000
 
 
I have tried also to dump the private key of b2 so i can manually sign the transaction with this private key but it fails again

---

I updated a mistake on the last transaction (the second address) but it doesn't change the result

Thanks - I will ask the team to look at it, and get back to you.
