address standalone add-multisig

Legacy spelling: this command was previously spelled standalone-add-multisig. Both spellings work, but only the nested spelling shown here appears in help and tab completion (v1.4.5+).

Add a new standalone multi-signature address.

Use the transaction compose command to use the new multisig address as input or output.

Usage​

address standalone add-multisig [OPTIONS] <MIN_REQUIRED_SIGNATURES> [PUBLIC_KEYS]...

Arguments​

  • <MIN_REQUIRED_SIGNATURES>: The minimum number of signatures required out of the specified public keys (M in an M-of-N multisig).

  • [PUBLIC_KEYS]...: The public keys from which to create the multisig. Each key is a participant in the multisig.

Options​

  • --label <LABEL>: Optionally assign a label to the new address.

  • --no-rescan <NO_RESCAN>: Skip rescanning the blockchain after adding the address.

    • Possible values: true, false

Examples​

# Create a 2-of-3 multisig
address standalone add-multisig 2 <pubkey1> <pubkey2> <pubkey3>

# Create a 2-of-3 multisig with a label, skipping rescan
address standalone add-multisig --label "Treasury" --no-rescan true 2 <pubkey1> <pubkey2> <pubkey3>

Notes​

Since v1.4.1, the announced blockchain rescan completes before the command returns, so subsequent commands see the wallet fully synced (previously the process could exit before the background rescan finished).
