Cannot send "coinbase" values to P2SH addresses in "regtest" #7277

ciyam commented at 3:57 PM on January 3, 2016: none

When I try it screws up the scriptPubKey - rather than:OP_HASH160 "hash value" OP_EQUAL I see this: "hash value" OP_CHECKSIG

Can you elaborate a bit on what you're doing exactly?

ciyam commented at 3:58 PM on January 3, 2016: none

sending funds to a P2SH address (that are from "coinbase") using "regtest"

sipa commented at 4:00 PM on January 3, 2016: member

Using RPC? What is the expected result, what is the actual result?

ciyam commented at 4:00 PM on January 3, 2016: none

I was only able to get things to work correctly when I first sent the funds to another testnet address

ciyam commented at 4:01 PM on January 3, 2016: none

literally the UTXO when I sent the funds to the P2SH was this: "public key hash" OP_CHECKSIG rather than the usual: OP_HASH160 "script hash" OP_EQUAL

ciyam commented at 4:01 PM on January 3, 2016: none

all I had done was to send funds to a P2SH address (i.e. starting with 2 for testnet)

sipa commented at 4:01 PM on January 3, 2016: member

Using sendtoaddress or a similar RPC?

ciyam commented at 4:02 PM on January 3, 2016: none

yes

ciyam commented at 4:02 PM on January 3, 2016: none

so I first did: generate 101 then I did: sendtoaddress 2XXX

sipa commented at 4:03 PM on January 3, 2016: member

That type of output is usually only created for coinbase outputs.

ciyam commented at 4:03 PM on January 3, 2016: none

so it is done on purpose? is there a reason for that?

ciyam commented at 4:04 PM on January 3, 2016: none

(the output was not supposed to be coinbase as it was supposed to be spending coinbase) (but maybe I have got confused)

sipa commented at 4:04 PM on January 3, 2016: member

How do you notice the produced transaction is wrong?

Can you paste the output of decoderawtransaction txid where txid is the txid reported by sendtoaddress?

ciyam commented at 4:06 PM on January 3, 2016: none

I didn't keep it but for sure it looks like this: "public key hash" OP_CHECKSIG rather than this: OP_HASH160 "script hash" OP_EQUAL

ciyam commented at 4:06 PM on January 3, 2016: none

just try and send any coinbase to a P2SH using regtest (am sure you'll get the same result using 0.11.2)

sipa commented at 4:10 PM on January 3, 2016: member

Are you sure you were looking at the right transaction?

ciyam commented at 4:10 PM on January 3, 2016: none

yes - I repeated this many times today (wasted many hours)

ciyam commented at 4:11 PM on January 3, 2016: none

you cannot send to a P2SH address using "regtest" from "coinbase"

sipa commented at 4:11 PM on January 3, 2016: member

Can you then please paste the output of getrawtransaction on it?

ciyam commented at 4:20 PM on January 3, 2016: none

Hmm.. this is very weird. All day I was having this problem but now when I try and repeat it no such problem. :(

ciyam commented at 4:22 PM on January 3, 2016: none

I'm pretty sure there is an issue but of course if I can't repeat it then I understand it can't be looked into.

ciyam commented at 4:24 PM on January 3, 2016: none

(now I am very confused as to why this caused me problems today)

Feel free to reopen when you can reproduce.
