Title: Bitcoin Core - Multisig Adresses
Post by: Madness on January 29, 2015, 03:40:57 PM
YOLO !
I didn't knew that this is possible with the Bitcoin Core till someone told me on this thread : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=939915.0;topicseen
Now I want to know what are the commands or whatever is needed to make a Multisig adress using my Bitcoin Core wallet from the Debug Window since it's impossible to make using the Graphic User Interface .

Code:
createmultisig n '["pubkey1","pubkey2","pubkey3",......]
n - requided signatures
pubkeys - pubkeys  :)
To find pubkey corresponding to your address press:
Code:
validateaddress address

Hey there , thanks for taking some time of yours to answer me
That's what I call a chinese language , I really didn't understand a lot of that to be honest what is that "03ccd252273248b3ebd34595976126361882edeb00af0c519b6b23e49341165bb5" needed for and what is it , It's a TAX ID or something ?

Mind explaining more please ? just want to create one adress .

EDIT : After using my brain a little bit I was able to understand what was that and how it works . I will edit my post again on a minut to let you know if I did it . thanks ;)

03ccd252273248b3ebd34595976126361882edeb00af0c519b6b23e49341165bb5 is a public key.
Press validateaddress <Address> to see your pubkey.

Multisig address. So you need several addresses.
1)Find at least 2 pubkeys.
2)Enter in debug window:
Code:
createmultisig n '["pubkey1","pubkey2","pubkey3",......]'
Example:

Save your RedeemScript. It will need to send  transactions.

Thanks a lot of your help , I was able to do it . too bad it's not possible to be made via GUI also too bad that the Adress don't get saved on the "Receiving adresses" Tab .

glv2 (https://github.com/glv2) did  multisigaddress GUI for PeerUnity-Qt.
https://github.com/Peerunity/Peerunity/commit/ca58b67fef940d0a22bc786ebe741d2db8865d3c
https://github.com/Peerunity/Peerunity/commit/820d8dc845d888b57856a8449269743edc9f9962
I copy the GUI for novacoin-qt.
It looks like:

So maybe in the near future similar GUI will appear in Bitcoin Core...

i have seen bitcoin address starting with 3 instead of 1 but i don't know it was possible to generate such address in bitcoin core qt wallet
there should be a complete step by step tutorial for this

I didn't know about this feature either , since It not in the Graphic Interface User on Bitcoin Core but only available if you use commands (a lot of features work with commands only) .
If you want to make an adress that start with 3 then just look what fsb4000 said above . I made one succesfully with his help ;)
