Using Createrawtransaction Got no-witness-yet Error

[haoqian]

Hi, I am trying to use createrawtransaction.

When I use following code:

Code:

op_return_data="4d79206e616d65"
utxo_txid=$(~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli listunspent | jq -r '.[0] | .txid')
utxo_vout=$(~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli listunspent | jq -r '.[0] | .vout')
utxo_balance=$(~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli listunspent | jq -r '.[0] | .amount')
new_balance=$(echo "$utxo_balance - 0.0001" | bc | awk '{printf "%f", $0}')
changeaddress=$(~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli getrawchangeaddress)
rawtxhex=$(~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli -named createrawtransaction inputs='''[ { "txid": "'$utxo_txid'", "vout": '$utxo_vout' } ]''' outputs='''{ "data": "'$op_return_data'", "'$changeaddress'": "'$new_balance'" }''')
signedhex=$(~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli signrawtransaction $rawtxhex | jq -r .hex)
~/bitcoin/src/bitcoin-cli sendrawtransaction $signedhex

It will get :

Code:

error code: -26
error message:
64: no-witness-yet

I do not know why. How to solve it? Could you help me?

Thanks!

This error means that you are trying to spend from or create segwit outputs without segwit being activated yet. Is your node fully synced?

I did not include any Segwit in any transaction. why does it show here?

Are you sure? If you forked from the latest Bitcoin Core, it uses segwit by default. Can you post what the changeaddress looks like and what the output of listunspent looks like?

Thank you for your reply.

I forked 0.16 bitcoin core.

Can you also post what your final signed transaction looks like?

getrawchangeaddress shows this:

Code:

3PgBJaR5fCw9nBtij7THqfHbbENdCdFEuv

This will be a problem for you later because that is a segwit address and you do not have segwit enabled.

This is your problem, the input you are spending is a segwit input. You will need to figure out how to prevent your fork from creating segwit outputs that can be spent as inputs.

Thank you very much for your reply.

createrawtransaction is unrelated to this or to segwit. The problem is that the wallet assumes segwit is enabled by default, but segwit is not enabled according to your network rules. So you either have to enable segwit in the network rules, or change the wallet to assume segwit is disabled. How you do that you will need to figure out yourself.
