This PR should be the last part of #7965.
This PR makes createmultisig only accept public keys and marks the old functionality of accepting addresses as deprecated.
It also splits _createmultisig_redeemscript
into two functions, _createmultisig_getpubkeys
and _createmultisig_getaddr_pubkeys
. _createmultisig_getpubkeys
retrieves public keys from the RPC parameters and _createmultisig_getaddr_pubkeys
retrieves addresses’ public keys from the wallet. _createmultisig_getaddr_pubkeys
requires the wallet and is only used by addwitnessaddress
(except when createmultisig
is used in deprecated mode).
addwitnessaddress
’s API is also changed. Instead of returning just an address, it now returns the same thing as createmultisig
: a JSON object with two fields, address and redeemscript.
