8.5: Spending a Transaction with a Bitcoin Script
Before we close out an overview of P2SH transactions, it's worth briefly discussing how to spend them!
Use the Redeem Script
As we saw in §6.2: Spending a Transaction to a Multisig, spending a P2SH transaction is all about having that serialized version of the locking script, the so-called redeemScript. So, the first step to being able to spend a P2SH transaction is ensuring that you save the redeemScript before you give out the P2SH address to everyone.
Because P2SH addresses aren't integrated into bitcoin-cli there will be no short-cuts as you saw in §6.3: Sending an Automated Multisig. You're going to need to collect all the more complex variables on your own!
Create the Transaction
[Notes: I think this is just the same as what we did in chapter 6.2, but I need to actually receive a P2SH transaction to test it, and that requires first getting to the APIs, then using one to send myself a P2SH transaction, then writing up how to respend that.]
Summary: Spending a Transaction with a Bitcoin Script
[Notes: Say it's just like respending that multisig, the hard way]
