The classic, and complex, way of spending funds sent to a multisignature address using `bitcoin-cli` requires that you do a lot of foot work.

At the least, don't save the information into a variable that could be accessed from your machine. Removing your shell's history is another great step. At the most, don't do it.

### Make Your First Signature

You can now pass the transaction on, to be signed again by anyone else required for the mutisig. They do this by running the same signing command that you did but: (1) with the longer `hex` that you output (`bitcoin-cli -named signrawtransaction hexstring=$rawtxhex prevtxs='''[ { "txid": "'$utxo_txid'", "vout": '$utxo_vout', "scriptPubKey": "'$utxo_spk'", "redeemScript": "'$redeem_script'" } ]''' privkeys='["cMgb3KM8hPATCtgMKarKMiFesLft6eEw3DY6BB8d97fkeXeqQagw"]' | jq -r '. | .hex'`); and (2) with their own private key.
> **M-OF-N VS N-OF-N:** Obviously, if you have an n-of-n signature (like the 2-of-2 multisignature in this example), then everyone has to sign, but if you hae a m-of-n multisignature where "m < n", then the signature will be complete when only some ("m") of the signers have signed.

To do so first they access their private keys:
