Create a Litecoin Multisig Transaction

This guide assumes you created a Litecoin 2-of-3 wallet following the previous article.

We will create a Litecoin multisig transaction using the command line wallet from Python BitcoinLib with the online main wallet and an offline wallet.

Create transaction with online wallet

First update your wallet and unspent transaction outputs:

$ clw LitecoinMS-on -x

If unspent transaction outputs are found you can create a transaction. We create a transaction to send 0.01 LTC to another address.

}

The commandline wallet outputs the transaction in human readable format and as a Python dictionary. The transaction does not verify yet because it is only signed by 1 signature and it needs 2.

Now save the Python dictionary to a USB stick in text format and name it 'tx_dict.txt'.

Sign transaction with offline wallet

Go to the offline device to sign the transaction with the second key. Use the following command to import the freshly transaction dictionary.

$ clw LitecoinMS -a <path-to-usb-stick>/tx_dict.txt

This will create a signed transaction and as you can see now it is verified and ready to send.

But before you continue please check if the transaction is the same as the original transaction. Besides software or human mistakes it is a possibility someone hacks into your online PC and change the transaction so it sends outputs to another address.

Send transaction

Copy the transaction dictionary (or just the 'raw' part) to the USB stick. You can send the transaction with any online transaction broadcast service, but below we will explain how to send it with your online wallet. This way your online wallet is updated as well.

To send the transaction import the transaction in your online wallet. You could import it without the 'push' option first to double check the transaction.

To broadcast your transaction to the network import the raw transaction and push.
