stjohn_piano 2020-08-29 no Parts - Description - Assets - Notes - Recipe - Examples Description This recipe describes a method of creating and signing a nonstandard Bitcoin transaction with at least one standard P2PKH input and at least one output. An output can be standard P2PKH or nonstandard P2SH. This recipe was written for article Edgecase_Bitcoin_Storage_Toolset_version_2 edgecase 148 Edgecase Bitcoin Storage Toolset version 2 . It includes links to the specific assets that it uses. Each input is an "unspent output" that is stored at a particular address. When the transaction is mined, this unspent output is "spent". Each output of the transaction is a new "unspent output". Various combinations of inputs and outputs are possible. For example, a transaction can have 3 inputs and 2 outputs.

Working definition of a nonstandard transaction: - It has at least one input and at least one output. - At least one input or output address is not a standard Pay-To-Public-Key-Hash (P2PKH) address. The code used in this recipe only supports nonstandard transactions with at least one standard P2PKH input and at least one output. An output can be standard P2PKH or nonstandard P2SH. Nonstandard inputs are not supported. A standard input spends bitcoin from a standard address. A nonstandard output sends bitcoin to a nonstandard address. Standard addresses start with the character '1'. Example: 1AGygbyEFYduWkkmZbbvirgS9kuBBMLJCP begins with a '1' and is therefore a standard P2PKH address. Example of a nonstandard address: - A Pay-To-Script-Hash (P2SH) address. Pay-To-Script-Hash (P2SH) addresses begin with the character '3'. Example: The address 328cTqexYnQRbN5Dgs12D89sYiPPvtWVbF begins with a '3' and is therefore a P2SH address. Previous version of this recipe: article Recipe_for_creating_and_signing_a_nonstandard_Bitcoin_transaction edgecase 72 Recipe for creating and signing a nonstandard Bitcoin transaction Several points concerning Bitcoin transactions: - New transactions spend unspent-outputs-of-previous-transactions. - The bitcoin balance of an address is the sum of the unspent outputs sent by previous transactions to this address. - To spend bitcoin from an address, the bitcoin amount must be constructed from complete unspent outputs. Any change can be sent in a new unspent output back to the original address or another that you control. Unspent outputs cannot be broken into smaller unspent outputs prior to spending - new unspent outputs (larger or smaller) must be created by a new transaction. - A transaction fee is not a strict requirement, but in practice your transaction is unlikely to be mined without one. - The transaction will be signed with the private key of each source address. Each signature will be stored with the relevant input in the transaction. Recipe Definitions: - Source address: The address that currently contains some bitcoin that you want to transfer in this transaction. - Destination address: The address to which some bitcoin will be transferred by this transaction. - Previous output hash: Big-endian 32-byte double-SHA256 hash of a previous transaction. - Tx: "transaction". - Txid: "transaction id". The little-endian form of the previous output hash. - Previous output index: The index of an unspent output in the onchain transaction that created it. This index is implicit and starts at zero, and can be found by examining the list of outputs in the transaction, and finding the position of the specific unspent output in question. Initial conditions: - You must have Python 2.7.x installed on your computer. The code used in this recipe has been run in Python 2.7.5 on CentOS 7.6 and in Python 2.7.13 on Mac OS X 10.6.8. It should run successfully in Python 2.7.x. - For each input, you will need to generate 32 bytes of entropy. The transaction will be signed once using each input and each signature requires 32 bytes of entropy. The following article describes one way to generate this entropy: article Recipe_for_generating_entropy_bytes_using_dice_#2 edgecase 151 Recipe for generating entropy bytes using dice #2 . Every ECDSA signature you ever make should use a different random 32-byte value. Notes on hex values: - All byte sequences are written in hex when supplied as input or printed as output. - 1 byte is written as 2 hex characters. A 32-byte sequence is therefore 64 characters in hex. - Hex characters consist of the ten digit characters "0123456789" and the lower-case alphabetical characters "abcdef". 1) Source details. For each input, gather the following pieces of information: - Txid: The txid of the previous transaction that transferred the unspent output to the source address. - Previous output index: The index of this unspent output in the previous transaction. - Private key: The 32-byte private key of the source address. - Input amount: The amount contained within the unspent output. This can be a bitcoin value or a satoshi value. - Random value: A 32-byte random value. 2) Destination details. Choose the following pieces of information: - Destination addresses, their type ("p2pkh" or "p2sh"), and the amount to be sent to each one. - Change address. If there is a difference between the total input value and the total output value, this difference will be sent to the change address. The transaction fee will be subtracted from the amount assigned to the change address. - Fee or fee rate. A fee value is in satoshi and a fee_rate value is in satoshi / byte. Look up the range of fee rates for transactions that are currently being mined. 3) Create a work directory. 4) Browse to the Assets part of this article and download all the linked assets. List of assets: - bitcoin_functions_2.py - bjorn_edstrom_ripemd160.py - create_nonstandard_transaction_3.py - ecdsa-0.10.tar.gz - nonstandard_bitcoin_functions_2.py - nonstandard_transaction_3.py - pypy_sha256.py - transaction_3.py 5) Move these assets into the work directory. 6) Unpack the zipped tape archive file ecdsa-0.10.tar.gz. This can be done by opening a terminal, changing directory to the work directory, and running the following command: tar -zxvf ecdsa-0.10.tar.gz This unpacking should produce a new directory named "ecdsa-0.10" in the work directory. The directory "ecdsa-0.10" should contain a directory named "ecdsa". Copy the "ecdsa" directory into the work directory. 7) Open the file create_nonstandard_transaction.py in a text editor. Scroll to lines 42-85, which should be the section of text that lies between ##### START CONTROLS and ##### END CONTROLS Note: In create_nonstandard_transaction.py, all control values are strings (i.e. are contained within quotation marks). 8) Set the list variable random_values to contain the 32-byte random values, one for each input. The first random value will be used to make the first input's signature, the second will be used to make second's signature, and so on. 9) Set the variable random_value_type to "hex_bytes". 10) The variable input_data is a list that contains dictionaries. Each dictionary contains the data for one input. For each input dictionary: - Set the value of the "txid" key to be the txid. - Set the value of the "previous_output_index" key to be the previous output index. - Set the value of the "private_key_hex" key to be the private key. - If the input amount is in satoshi, set the value of the "satoshi_amount" key to be the input amount. - If the input amount is in bitcoin, set the value of the "bitcoin_amount" key to be the input amount. Note: If both of the "satoshi_amount" and "bitcoin_amount" keys are supplied, then "bitcoin_amount" will take precedence. You can comment out the unused variable of the pair by placing a number sign ('#') at the start of the relevant line. - Set the value of the "input_type" key to be "p2pkh". 11) The variable output_data is a list that contains dictionaries. Each dictionary contains the data for one output. For each output: - Set the value of the "address" key to be the output address. - If the output amount is in satoshi, set the value of the "satoshi_amount" key to be the output amount. - If the output amount is in bitcoin, set the value of the "bitcoin_amount" key to be the output amount. Note: If both of the "satoshi_amount" and "bitcoin_amount" keys are set, then "bitcoin_amount" will take precedence. You can comment out the unused variable of the pair by placing a number sign ('#') at the start of the relevant line. - Set the value of the "output_type" key to be the address's type. This will be either "p2pkh" or "p2sh". 12) Set the variable change_address to be the change address. 13) Set the fee or fee rate. If you have chosen to set the fee as an absolute number of satoshi, set the variable fee to be the fee amount and set the variable fee_type to be "fee". The fee must be an integer e.g. "225". Otherwise, if you have chosen to set the fee as a fee rate (in satoshi / byte), set the variable fee_rate to be the fee rate and set the variable fee_type to be "fee_rate". The fee_rate must be an integer e.g. "1" or a float e.g. "1.2". 14) Open a terminal and change directory to the work directory. 15) Run the following command: python create_nonstandard_transaction_3.py At the end, the output will contain the signed transaction as a hex byte sequence without spaces. Examples I'm going to replicate Transactions "tx_2b" and "tx_3" from article Bitcoin_nonstandard_transaction_test_set edgecase 147 Bitcoin nonstandard transaction test set . Both transactions have 1 standard P2PKH input and 1 nonstandard P2SH output. Machine details: - Windows 10 - Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL): Ubuntu 16.04 - I'm working in the WSL Ubuntu terminal. I've created a work directory (named "work"), downloaded the assets, and moved them into the work directory. Transaction tx_2b: I know from the transaction details that the actual output amount was 0.00299668 bitcoin, but I'm going to set it to be the same as the input amount (0.003 bitcoin), to demonstrate that the script will correctly subtract the fee (332 satoshi) from the input amount.
