<p>I think the unsigned raw transaction is not setup correctly. The unsigned tx has 5 times the pubkey script in the tx_in[0-4] section. It should have only one for each signature. How I understood the system, the way to go is to set all input scripts to nothing, and run through a loop for each of the five inputs, creating 5  separate signatures. </p>

<p>The first loop will have the pubkey script for tx_in[0]. All others remain empty. Then you calculate a valid signature for tx_in[0]. Then in the next loop you again set all to nothing, and only for tx_in<a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41209/how-to-sign-a-transaction-with-multiple-inputs">1</a> the pubkey script. And so on... I try to display it this way:</p>

<pre><code>set all scriptSig fields to empty, and length of field to 0
Loop 1
  only tx_in[0] with pubkey script, generate sig[0]
Loop 2
  only tx_in[1] with pubkey script, generate sig[1]
Loop 3
  only tx_in[2] with pubkey script, generate sig[2]
Loop 4
  only tx_in[3] with pubkey script, generate sig[3]
Loop 5
  only tx_in[4] with pubkey script, generate sig[4]
</code></pre>

<p>This will give you the signatures, now you place each signature in its scriptsig field, and adopt the length fields accordingly. </p>

pebwindkraft, I little bit confused about what are you asking for, because the 5 outputs of this transaction are "unspent"

I thought the error message indicates s.th. with the first transaction and it's input zero. Before going into further analysis of sig and scripts, I wanted to make sure, that this "outpoint 0" really contains funds. However, when I was looking at blockchain.info, I thought I can see, that the funds might have been sent already. So the output of "listunspent | grep -A9 -B1 $tx_id" would have helped to verify current status for the error message... If you like to, you can edit your original question and copy&paste output of the command, or use pastern again.

All inputs of my transaction are the unspend outputs from the one transaction `c806c9ae2ac9c71fad307c9fedeca2133edb195cae9e924424885f57a63ba9a9`. The outputs of this transaction are unspend (5 outputs). I try to edit my question so to clearify the problem that I really misunderstand.

# Can not decode transaction. Script was manually verified successfull

(Asked by: username_0 on 2018-07-22)

I can not decode transaction in Bitcoin-QT.

The error is: `TX decode failed (code -22)`. But blockexplorer site decode it.

Then I try to send transaction from blockcypher.com site, and the error is:
`Error validating transaction: Error running script for input 0 referencing c806c9ae2ac9c71fad307c9fedeca2133edb195cae9e924424885f57a63ba9a9 at 0: Script was NOT verified successfully..`

Please help what is wrong. I check transaction structure by hand and check signatures. It's all ok.

I upload signed and unsigned transactions on pastebin.

Unsigned transaction: <https://pastebin.com/XfE73U57>

Decoded unsigned transaction: <https://pastebin.com/RH2tNrNn>

Signed transaction: <https://pastebin.com/K15c29tK>

Decoded signed transaction: <https://pastebin.com/Mfs0bXgR>

I check signatures and structure of transaction by hand, and they are all correct. Inputs are unspent. So what is the problem? Please help me.

Then in the next loop you again set all to nothing, and only for tx\_in[1](https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41209/how-to-sign-a-transaction-with-multiple-inputs) the pubkey script. And so on... I try to display it this way:

```

This will give you the signatures, now you place each signature in its scriptsig field, and adopt the length fields accordingly.
