bitcoin-transactions - Discover and move your coins by yourself

Javascript implementation of the Bitcoin protocol for any Bitcoin based coins, on server and inside browsers as a standalone offline webapp, this module offers all the tools to manage your addresses and transactions by yourself without the need to sync a full node and/or use a wallet that you don't trust

Funding and license

This module is funded by NLnet under the EU Horizon 2020 Next Generation internet Search and Discovery call

Therefore the initial dev fees have been removed and the code is open source and provided in clear under a MIT license

Dependencies

This module is using the very good Elliptic, BS58, BECH32, Forge SHA256, Browserify, Terser and other modules from us under a MIT license

Browser version

The browser version is here

In case you don't see how to use it for some parts, please refer to the documentation and examples here

Installation (nodejs version)

Install nodejs for Windows,Mac,Linux, usually this is easy

Create a bitcoin-transactions directory, download and unzip master

Support and supported coins

If you experience some issues with this module or don't feel comfortable to use it by yourself, or just don't know how to use it, please email at our github address or email contact peersm com, or post an issue

If you don't know very well how to find your transactions, your can refer to the initial doc

The list of supported coins is here, as you can see the tool does support a lot of coins, most of them not being serious, we do not intend to support additional non serious coins

Create wallet

node tx.js <coin> createwallet <secret> <nb optional> <path optional>

Example:

node tx.js BTC createwallet 4ecf2e71d567072fe2f9cda40873afcaae4224e3f249018621a90dd43e88f8de 100 "m/44'/0'/0'/0/500"

See the test vectors in https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-transactions/blob/master/tests/wallet.txt

<coin> is the type of coin, <secret> is a BIP32 seed (32 bytes) or a xprv derived seed, nb is the number of addresses to be generated, path is the derivation path (it defaults to the standard path or BIP44 path), the "'" stands for hardened addresses

You can also use create_wallet <coin> <secret> where secret is an already generated hd object to iterate on it

Since we did implement it before Zcash team, we kept our implementation for z-addresses, now please note that this is probably not following the BIP32 Zcash implementation

Create transactions

For a really detailed explanation of how transactions work please refer to the initial documentation above

The general syntax is:

node tx.js <coin> create prevtx=tx1_tx2... prevaddr=prevaddr1_prevaddr2_... prevamount=amount1_amount2_... previndex=index1_index2... privkey=privkey1_privKey2 addr=addr1_addr2... fees=fees amount=amount1_amount2 optional

If prevaddr corresponds to a segwit address, you must use prevaddr=prevaddr1-segwit_prevaddr2-segwit_...

In that case, if prevaddr is not a bech32 address it will create a segwit "nested into p2sh" transaction, if not it will create a legacy segwit transaction

Same thing applies if a destination address is a bech32 one or not

The best is to refer to all the examples in test vectors and test vectors multiple addresses

The calculation for the fees is:

Sum of amount+network fees=Sum of prevamounts

You must choose the fees according to the rules of the coin used, do not go below ~1 satoshi per byte or your transaction will not be accepted by the network, due to rounding issues there can be one satoshi floating around

Standard wallets

node tx.js <coin> create prevtx= prevaddr=addr prevamount= previndex= privkey= addr= fees=0.00000300

Multisig wallets

node tx.js <coin> create prevtx= prevaddr=addr prevamount= previndex= privkey=priv1-priv2-redeem-mofn addr= fee=0.00000500

Segwit

If your coins are on a segwit address you must add the -segwit string in prevaddr:

P2WPKH

node tx.js <coin> create prevtx= prevaddr=addr-segwit prevamount= previndex= privkey= addr= fees=0.00000300

P2WSH (multisig)

node tx.js <coin> create prevtx= prevaddr=addr-segwit prevamount= previndex= privkey=priv1-priv2-redeem-mofn addr= fee=0.00000500

Multiple inputs

Same as above with a _ separator for all fields, if the data is the same (for example all outputs corresponding to the same address), then just put it once not using _

Mixed inputs

You can mix all kind of transactions using the _ separator, please see the last example in test vectors

Sending your transaction

The difference between complete transaction and body in the output of the create command is just that complete transaction includes the body with the network headers:

node tx.js <coin> send complete transaction advised full node (as shown in here section)

or

paste the <b>body (and not the complete transaction)</b> in an explorer (example: https://btgexplorer.com/tx/send or https://explorer.btcprivate.org/tx/send)

If you used the first method you can also check that your transaction is in mempool (see in the code and uncomment)

Important warning

The tool double checks many times many things, now if you make a mistake with the destination address it can't detect it, be sure to use an address that you master

The tool can detect mistakes made with the amounts also but not always, be carefull for example not to send everything as network fees

Check carefully the output of the create command, you will see the details of the transaction, you MUST at the end get "Transaction verified" AND "serialize/deserialize OK", if you don't get this then something is wrong with your parameters

Decode transactions

node tx.js <coin> decode <body of the transaction>

Note: once an output corresponding to an address is spent then the corresponding public key or redeem script becomes public, this feature allows you to see it, this eliminates one check to validate further transactions involving this address, that's why it is not recommended to reuse same addresses

See Sign/Verify messages below also

Verify transactions

node tx.js <coin> verify <body of the transaction> 'outpoint1,nValue1' 'outpoint2,nValue2' ...

Please see verify

Convert addresses

node tx.js <coin1> convert <coin2> <addr>

This will convert the address from coin1 format to coin2 format

BIP39 words recovery

The tool allows you to recover one or two words in a BIP39 sequence in case you lost them (or to get the right words to have a correct checksum), two words still makes too many possibilities so most likely you should use this feature with only one word

node tx.js <coin> recoverbip39 <language> <words> <m> <n optional>

m is the position of the first missing word, n the one of the second one (if relevant)

node tx.js BTC recoverbip39 english "evidence ripple refuse organ original peasant camp bar train similar scatter prepare follow meadow" 3

evidence ripple absent refuse organ original peasant camp bar train similar scatter prepare follow meadow
evidence ripple adapt refuse organ original peasant camp bar train similar scatter prepare follow meadow
evidence ripple answer refuse organ original peasant camp bar train similar scatter prepare follow meadow
evidence ripple apology refuse organ original peasant camp bar train similar scatter prepare follow meadow
...

BIP39 seeds generation

We do not advise to use this feature since javascript prng still can be weak, instead we would recommend to use a BIP32 seed from for example QRNG go to Live Numbers-->Live streams-->Hex and copy 64 digits (ie a 32B hex seed)

node tx.js <coin> generatebip39 <language> <nb>

nb is the number of words

node tx.js BTC generatebip39 english 15

Sign/Verify messages

This is used to prove ownership of a given address

Be careful anyway not to over use it, or do it privately, because once you have proven the ownership of a given address, then the corresponding public key becomes public, see decode transactions above

Each coin uses a prefix appended to the message to be signed (generally the string 'Bitcoin signed message:\n'), we have set the correct prefix for the main coins but did not check for all of them

node tx.js <coin> signmessage <message> <privatekey> <type>

type is: 'n' for compressed key, 's' for segwit, 'b' for bech32

type is in fact of no use and not relevant for this module, therefore ignored by verify (but set correctly for signing), but it can be checked by other tools

Notes for the devs

The module is not trivial, any slight change can cause everything not to work any longer and can become difficult to identify at a certain point of time, therefore it is advised to periodically test the latest example in the multisig test vectors while making changes (if this one passes it's unlikely that something is wrong). In addition serialize/deserialize is not symetrical then true must be used when not coming from a Tx constructor transaction, initially this was a mistake due to misreading of segwit specs, we decided to keep it like this because double checking symetrical potential wrong things is just useless, therefore this adds a last serialize/deserialize independant check
