Title: Electrum and Multisig
Post by: doolittle on January 19, 2014, 03:37:56 PM
Just to clarify:
- It is not possible to create multisgnature addresses (3...) in Electrum. Or is it?
- It is not possible to create transactions out of multisig-addresess, either. Correct?
Are there already some indications when and how these things are going to be implemented?

And a wider question: So far we only have the console of BitcoinQT and the instructions issued by Gavin
https://gist.github.com/gavinandresen/3966071/raw/1f6cfa4208bc82ee5039876b4f065a705ce64df7/TwoOfThree.sh
to create multisig-transactions? Or are there other clients who can do it as well? Or even other kinds of transactions who work outside of the testnet?
Thanks :)

Wow, why is this hidden in some github?
Is there more information on the subject, contracts, and so on ....?
Can you tell me what github is and how to use it?
(know that this is a noob question, but I have no idea about open source development)

@atweiden, I'm tg0 from on freenode, you sent me that link before. I forgot to ask you, does this only work when all the keys are in the one wallet? Have you had any luck using a key from 3 seperate wallet? If your tutorial works as prescribed but by changing -w <wallet> when signing by each different user that would be awesome.

It is possible to create the address, and spend to them. However, signing transactions which spend multisig transactions does not work unless all the keys are in the wallet, or so I have found. What a bitch.
