addmultisigaddress

addmultisigaddress nrequired ["key",...] ( "label" "address_type" )

Adds an nrequired-to-sign multisignature address to the wallet. A new wallet backup is required after this operation.

Each key can be either a BitcoinEvo address or a hex-encoded public key.

This feature is intended only for use with non-watchonly addresses. For watchonly P2SH address support, see importaddress.

If a ‘label’ is specified, the address will be assigned to that label.

Argument #3 – label

Type: string, optional

A label to assign the addresses to.

Argument #4 – address_type

Type: string, optional, default=set by -addresstype

The address type to use. Options are “legacy”, “p2sh-segwit”, and “bech32”.

Result

{                            (json object)
  "address" : "str",         (string) The value of the new multisig address

Examples

Add a multisig address from 2 addresses:

bitcoinevo-cli addmultisigaddress 2 "[\"bc1q09vm5lfy0j5reeulh4x5752q25uqqvz34hufdl\",\"bc1q02ad21edsxd23d32dfgqqsz4vv4nmtfzuklhy3\"]"
