Could you share the raw transaction bytes (in hex) that you broadcasted?

Of course, this is what I'm broadcasting: 
`0100000000010179ebc0d716496a2803828657074196c073bf9be23a43604530deec6a7f6ef6660100000000ffffffff011c250000000000002200204a7642228c2f5688884cff5221714abaf58c9a5e32cf03549f7a75888acb10060247304402203fb1c7b9d5c93716968ef7e010923f123b816a6ff255ff401b3dbf090c69f430022044509913f254e107d32696cd930c6ff6a4968fc84ed7417cb80f100c9562bcc5012321029bed8c78bc0f557742303db2fb3c48e8b5025cf11cdf1cdea764805f234a443cac00000000`

Your signature is invalid. When `OP_CheckSig` is executed it pushes `false` to the stack that is probably why you get that error message.

Thank you. I'm trying to read through the code and am comparing with my notes but can't figure out which steps I'm doing wrong that produce an invalid signature. Will keep on digging.

# Problem spending funds from P2WSH address: non-mandatory-script-verify-flag

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-06-24)

I've tried to find an answer here and on BTT but without luck so far.

I'm having issues creating a transaction to spend from a `P2WSH` [address](https://explorer.bc-2.jp/address/tb1qhxy36055wje22qkxn4mtjl4k9vykcnq7avgtu3smnw6xpdxmw0qqjvywtn) which I created and sent funds to.

I based my code off of this example: <https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib/blob/master/examples/spend-p2wsh-txout.py>

My code can be found here: <https://gist.github.com/i0x0ff/b29b2307b4e9ce316a4d6533464cf7a1>

P2WSH [address with funds](https://explorer.bc-2.jp/address/tb1qhxy36055wje22qkxn4mtjl4k9vykcnq7avgtu3smnw6xpdxmw0qqjvywtn): `tb1qhxy36055wje22qkxn4mtjl4k9vykcnq7avgtu3smnw6xpdxmw0qqjvywtn`

I want to send funds to: `tb1qffmyyg5v9atg3zzvlafzzu22ht6cexj7xt8sx4yl0f6c3zktzqrq8hempj`

When broadcasting the transaction I get the following error:

```
{
  "code": -26,
  "message": "non-mandatory-script-verify-flag (Signature must be zero for failed CHECK(MULTI)SIG operation)",
}

```

One thing to note is that, I'm making this transaction on **SIGNET** and I've modified the code in the python-bitcoinlib to support SIGNET. I intend to make a PR for after I figure out this problem.

If there's any more information that I can provide in order to make it easier for anyone to help out, let me know what else would be useful. I'm just starting out with development on Bitcoin and will also document my process, finding and learnings.

Answering for anyone who might come across this. My linked script is invalid, I tried to spend funds from txout for which I don't have access for.

The [linked script](https://github.com/petertodd/python-bitcoinlib/blob/master/examples/spend-p2wsh-txout.py) works as expected and if you follow its steps it will work as expected. Please note that `python-bitcoinlib` does not have support for signet and I have made modifications to it locally.
