Mine a MultiSig / P2SH transactions on main net - Bounty

[piuk]

I need someone to create and redeem one M-Of-N transaction and one P2SH transaction on main net.

Offering modest bounty of 2 BTC.

Nice request !
I like strange TXes too :)

gavin said luke had to test bip17 on the real network because he wrote a stealing bot on testnet
so those transactions should already be somewhere out there in the real blockchain
(and you can steal luke's money if you find them )

No, Luke didn't have to test on the real network.

He tested on the real network before he was aware of the stealing bot, in fact. He tested on the real network because he controls the content of the blocks of 400GH/s.  He tested on the real network because he could.

When the stealing bot was noticed and was causing Luke some trouble with continued testing I mined some 40ish blocks to reorganize testnet to undo the stealing bot so Luke could continue his testing there.  (something that I couldn't do on the real network, which is part of the reason testnet is so much better for testing)

so do you know in which blocks on the real network the bip17 transacions are?

I think this might be one http://blockchain.info/tx-index/14682055?show_adv=true

So I've made a bit of progress and have patched bitcoin-js so it can generate multi-sig transactions and also patched my bitcoind with the latest git Script changes.

However for some reason the MultiSig transactions are not passing IsStandard() and are being rejected.

Just to confirm should n & m be pushed onto the stack as if they were data?

They aren't standard, you should patch your bitcoind to mine them into blocks.

They aren't standard, you should patch your bitcoind to mine them into blocks.

They were made standard recently. The problem was m & n are not actually numbers they are op codes e.g. OP_TURE, OP_2

My test transaction finally got mined by Ozcoin:
