Title: Electrum Multisig Wallet and address
Post by: Bart8802 on November 13, 2016, 06:53:26 PM
Hi,
when I create multisig wallet with Electrum it generate a xpub key.
Xpub key is different from public key (starting with 02, 03, 04, etc.). How can I get the public key (starting with 02, 03, 04, etc.)?

I'm talking of public keys like in coinb.in site.
How can I generate a public key or multisig address with Electrum to use after in coinb.in site?
Thank you very much

You get a public key for a single address by enabling address (Ctrl + A), changing to the new "Addresses" tab, right clicking the address you want the public key for and selecting "Public Keys".

Assuming Electrum 2.7.12 here.

In the case of p2sh addresses the address is a hash of a script not the hash of a public key. So what are you trying to achieve again?
