I am trying to create a raw transaction for sending to the blockchain. In doing so, I want to do this in a browser.
Where can I get nonWitnessUtxo
?
All the information that I have outlined here, I found in the tests. Am I doing the right thing?
const bitcoin = require('bitcoinjs-lib')
const testnet = bitcoin.networks.testnet
const keyPair = bitcoin.ECPair.makeRandom({ network: testnet })
const publicKey = keyPair.publicKey
const { address } = bitcoin.payments.p2pkh({
pubkey: publicKey,
network: testnet
})
const privateKey = keyPair.toWIF()
const psbt = new bitcoin.Psbt({ network: testnet })
const txid = '226a14d30cfd411b14bf20b7ffd211f7f206699690c54d456cc1bef70c2de5a6'
const key = bitcoin.ECPair.fromWIF(privateKey, testnet)
psbt.addInput({
hash: txid,
index: 0,
nonWitnessUtxo: Buffer.from('Where can i get this?', 'hex')
})
psbt.addOutput({
script: Buffer.from('mmpAPZSvhJs1NGw8UaJXEJ9vRByAxProUL', 'hex')
value: 10000
})
psbt.signInput(0, key)
psbt.validateSignaturesOfInput(0)
psbt.finalizeAllInputs()
psbt.extractTransaction().toHex()
I would be grateful for any help!
This answer is for those looking for a way to create a transaction in the browser, but could not deal with the bitcoinjs-lib
I use bitcore-lib
- https://www.npmjs.com/package/bitcore-lib
const bitcore = require('bitcore-lib')
const firstPrivateKey = new bitcore.PrivateKey()
const secondPrivateKey = new bitcore.PrivateKey()
const wif = firstPrivateKey.toString()
const toAddress = secondPrivateKey.toAddress().toString()
const satoshiAmount = 10000
const privateKey = bitcore.PrivateKey.fromWIF(wif)
const sourceAddress = privateKey.toAddress(bitcore.Networks.testnet)
const targetAddress = bitcore.Address.fromString(toAddress)
const utxos = [
{
address: 'mywRqUpbENhbu5VsYDwiMTJouVK9g2ZEJQ',
txid: '761693565e82ca176532c52a37fb38cd9f1eb0172a00562b394e60ede0b7df8a',
vout: 1,
scriptPubKey: '76a914ca133ceac705b723b91263aa163ea8a45954e49a88ac',
amount: 0.0001,
satoshis: 10000,
height: 1578273,
confirmations: 338
}
]
const transaction = new bitcore.Transaction()
transaction.from(utxos)
transaction.to(targetAddress, Number(satoshiAmount))
transaction.change(sourceAddress)
transaction.sign(privateKey)
const serializedTX = tx.serialize()
Then you need send this serializedTX
as raw transaction to bitcoin network.
P.S. This example does not work because there is an invalid is presented utxos
. Get your utxos
using API
, such as https://bitpay.com/api/addr/${sourceAddress}/utxo
and then everything will work.
