Creating a Bitcoin RawTX transaction using a private hex format key involves several steps:
- Importing necessary libraries
- Creating a Bitcoin RawTX transaction template
- Generating a private key from a hex string
- Creating a Bitcoin address from the private key
- Getting the balance of the Bitcoin address
- Creating a RawTX transaction with the desired inputs and outputs
- Signing the RawTX transaction with the private key
- Encoding the RawTX transaction as a hexadecimal string
Here is a Python script that performs these steps:
import hashlib
import ecdsa
import binascii
from bitcoin.core import CTransaction, COutPoint, CScript, CTxIn, CTxOut, CTx
from bitcoin.core import b2x, x2b, CBlock, CBlockIndex
# Import the private key as a hex string
private_key_hex = "your_private_key_hex"
# Generate a private key from the hex string
private_key = ecdsa.SigningKey.from_string(bytes.fromhex(private_key_hex), curve=ecdsa.SECP256k1)
# Create a Bitcoin address from the private key
public_key = private_key.get_verifying_key().to_string().hex()
bitcoin_address = "1" + hashlib.sha256(hashlib.sha256(public_key.encode()).digest()).hexdigest()[26:]
# Get the balance of the Bitcoin address
# This is a placeholder, you would need to use a real Bitcoin wallet API to get the balance
balance = 10.0
# Create a RawTX transaction template
tx = CTransaction()
# Add an input
tx.vin.append(CTxIn(COutPoint(0, 0), b'\x00' * 41))
# Add an output
tx.vout.append(CTxOut(int(balance * 100000000), CScript([bytes.fromhex(public_key)])))
# Set the transaction version and lock time
tx.nVersion = 2
tx.nLockTime = 0
# Sign the RawTX transaction with the private key
tx.vin[0].scriptSig = CScript([private_key.sign(b'\x18' + tx.serialize().rjust(128 // 8, b'\x00') + bytes.fromhex(public_key), hashlib.sha256).digest()])
# Encode the RawTX transaction as a hexadecimal string
tx_hex = b2x(tx.serialize()).decode('utf-8')
print(tx_hex)
This script generates a Bitcoin RawTX transaction with a single input, a single output, and signs it with the private key. Note that this is a very basic example and real-world transactions would require more complex handling, such as handling multiple inputs and outputs, handling multiple signatures, and checking the transaction for errors.
To create a Bitcoin RawTX transaction using a private key in Python, you’ll need to install the pycryptodome
and bech32
libraries. You can install them using pip:
pip install pycryptodome bech32
Next, you can use the following Python script as a starting point. This script creates a raw transaction that sends all available funds from the specified address to another address. Make sure to replace the priv_key_hex
, to_address
, utxo_txid
, utxo_vout
, and fee
values with your own data.
