Ok thanks. It must be a syntax error I'm having when trying to sign, as it usually is. I have a hell of a time with the stupid escaping, and the signrawtransactionwithkey method has tons of parameters. Thanks.

Ok so I am not using an extended private key to generate the multisig address. I'm using a prviate key derived from it (a child private key?).

I successfully generate the 2/3 address via bitcoin-cli method createmultisig with the public keys (1 belonging to child public key, 2 belonging to standard non-HD keys).

So just to clarify, it is valid to create a multisig address with mixed normal and child public keys?

Is it valid to create a 2/3 multisig address using a mix of HD keys and non- HD?

Reason I ask is because on bitcoin-cli when trying to sign, I'm getting an error about invalid private key when trying to sign a 2/3 tx with the HD child private key. It might be something else, but is this valid?

The exact error msg is this:


Thanks

Ahhhh damn ok thanks for pointing it out to me, I'm bad at thinking about encoding stuff. Thanks.

Hi. This is a dumb question but, how come when I copy a value from bitcoin, e.g. raw hex of a tx, and paste it in a text editor and read the length, it reads 600 chars (bytes), but when I look in the RPC result for size it reads exactly half of that (300) ? Thanks.

Hi, can I encrypt RPC calls to my daemon? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I just realized that txindex is unavailable in prune mode, and my current usage relies on txindex being set to True. I guess I've got to keep the full bc.

Like the title, can I use all RPC methods on the entire blockchain in pruning mode? Or would I only be able to receive all data on recent blocks? I have not configured my node to be pruned yet, but am considering it for disk space.

Is there a list which shows RPC calls which are going to be deprecated? getrawtransaction has this message in the help text from bitcoin-cli:


Tbh I'm not really sure what that means. Does it mean that in the next version, getrawtransaction won't be able to fetch data for txs with unspent outputs? Usually the deprecation messages are a bit more clear than this. Anyway, I don't want to develop code using this call if it won't work soon. Thanks.
