help with paytomany

[almqq]

Hi, I am trying to get paytomany working, using the command line. I tried this:

Code:

electrum paytomany bc1qnp7d483d79j6pcx6rfc9yw46xrevplcxtuurhq 0.0001 bc1qt6enaefhrhue9q4hyszx4kn9zvqvucktruvh2q 0.0001

and got this error

Code:

electrum paytomany: error: argument outputs: invalid <lambda> value: 'bc1qnp7d483d79j6pcx6rfc9yw46xrevplcxtuurhq'

What am I doing wrong?

PS: "electrum payto ..." works, but not "electrum paytomany ..."

Use this (from stackexchange):

Code:

electrum paytomany "[[\"bc1qnp7d483d79j6pcx6rfc9yw46xrevplcxtuurhq\", 0.0001], [\"bc1qt6enaefhrhue9q4hyszx4kn9zvqvucktruvh2q\", 0.0001]]"

I tested it myself:

Code:

electrum --testnet -w $wallet paytomany "[[\"tb1q8gyrph2e8fxv523zlajrfahm5vswsg4ccw90zu\", 0.001], [\"tb1qx52vxtymu4t6asm24s2h50tz0pqs88alx8w5vz\", 0.0002]]"

I managed. The answer is this format:

electrum paytomany '[["bc1qnp7d483d79j6pcx6rfc9yw46xrevplcxtuurhq",0.0001], ["bc1qt6enaefhrhue9q4hyszx4kn9zvqvucktruvh2q",0.0001]]'

The single quotes won't allow for variable substitution. But it is easier than escaping double quotes.

For cases like this, it is best and easiest to use some JSON library that would create the string itself instead of trying to hardcode it yourself. In that case you just create your "array" with the addresses and amounts and simply call the ToString method to get the result you want to pass to the commandline. That should take care of all the quotes, brackets, etc. needed for a correct value.

electrum paytomany '[["bc1qnp7d483d79j6pcx6rfc9yw46xrevplcxtuurhq",0.0001], ["bc1qt6enaefhrhue9q4hyszx4kn9zvqvucktruvh2q",0.0001]]'

this actually how json.dumps works and used in electrum code I find that trying to write it manually may cause some problems, so the easiest solution is to create a CSV file with the address, amount, and let's name this file P2M.csv, then write this code

Code:

import csv
input_file = csv.DictReader(open("/full/path/to/your/P2M.csv"))

// Full path

outputs = []

for row in input_file:
    tup = (row["address"], float(row["amount"]))
    outputs.append(tup)

print outputs

    transaction = paytomany(outputs, 0.0004)
    print transaction

0.0004 is mining fee you can change it or add raw_input to check transaction before sending it

What am I doing wrong?

The error was in duplicating the code, the syntax you used is not correct, this is the explanation of the code

Code:

    @command('wp')
    async def paytomany(self, outputs, fee=None, feerate=None, from_addr=None, from_coins=None, change_addr=None,
                        nocheck=False, unsigned=False, rbf=True, password=None, locktime=None, addtransaction=False, wallet: Abstract_Wallet = None):
