2 BTC bounty for fixing our multi-signature bug in the Bitcore API

[Bitalo_Martin]

Dear all,

Bitalo wants to deliver more decentralized service applications,
however we are currently blocked for our escrow mechanism by a bug that we simply cannot solve.

We try to use the bitcore API for 2 out of 3 multi signature escrow, but for unknown reasons it does not work.

all info and the complete bug description is available here:
https://github.com/bitpay/bitcore/issues/1136

We hope that someone here might be smart enough to help us out here.

I might be wrong but if it decodes to this and you are trying to spend this transaction 5c2fbdb2624875dd5cb55783974de1b815f2b1562d70bcfb0ab42377e925e8a8:1 it shouldn't be this

Code:

"script_string":"OP_HASH160 6e785c7efebeefbf201533ed5c8d07b6a524eadc OP_EQUAL",

I think it is supposed to be this.

Code:

"script_string":"OP_HASH160 9614b156f8fa5721f0fed587378af46bd1503bfe  OP_EQUAL",

],
"p2sh" : "3R1UQV2dHeXN2S3fiUqzFZnKougMdyEYv9"
}

Notice that it's a different address than the one you are trying to spend `3FNa55HKt54bjfJMFssPFLX5KwJv39hsUj`.

In your javascript,

Code:

var utxo = {
    txId: escrowTxid,
    outputIndex: escrowTxVout,
    script: Script.buildMultisigOut(pubkeys, 2).toScriptHashOut(),
    satoshis: escrowAmount
  };

You form the redeem script from the pubkeys. With 3 public keys, there are 6 different permutations. Each of them leads to a different multi-sig address.
Interestingly, none of them matches the one you need.

- 123 3R1UQV2dHeXN2S3fiUqzFZnKougMdyEYv9
- 213 37yynZQMVYP2c7aU3MMQuRNT35Ef4n7gMA

- 321 3Lc3xpDc2TGgr4PukALsa4GMXvK69fA76h"

Either you are trying to redeem from the wrong address, or you don't have the right pubkeys.

@amaclin, I don't know if you did it on purpose but you had a totally different explanation (bogus).

Then just after I post mine, your message is edited and voila - your explanation is the right one. It looks really shady.

First I put this transaction to http://webbtc.com/relay_tx and got a message about invalid signature
And next I continued to find the problem with my own tools and code

[duckydonald]

There should be a bountry escrow, how you know hes gonna pay after he sees the solutions here?

i hope to close this chapter quickly, but sure, we can appoint an escrower in case of a dispute ;-)

Also, amaclin ... if you like the 0,5 BTC (in case I am right) just give me your address via PM.

I would trust his answers over yours.

@hhanh00 even claimed you edited your post to match his and you didn't acknowledge it.

Besides, I see his point about the OP_PUSHDATA being parsed in an incorrect way.

I do not believe this is the problem, unfortunately.
