Title: Multisig
Post by: FabioCarpi on December 19, 2016, 03:06:25 PM
What's the difference between the commands importmultisig and addmultisig?

CMIIW but I believe that the two API calls that Bitcoin Core has and is related to multisig are createmultisig and addmultisigaddress.

They are nearly the samething since both would output the multisig address. Createmultisig will output the address and its redeem script. The command addmultisigaddress will output the address but not the redeem script. The address will also be saved into your wallet.

I have tested both. I create a address with createmultisig and import with importaddress. The command addmultisig don't add the address in the receive list...

Did you use addmultisigaddress? The address will appear in "sending addresses" tab.
