txbuilder	TxBuilder example

Bitcoin-S features a transaction buidlder that constructs and signs Bitcoin transactions. Here's an example of how to use it

implicit val ec: ExecutionContext = ExecutionContext.Implicits.global

// generate a fresh private key that we are going to use in the scriptpubkey
val privKey = ECPrivateKey.freshPrivateKey
val pubKey = privKey.publicKey

// this is the script that the TxBuilder is going to create a
// script signature that validly spends this scriptPubKey
val creditingSpk = P2PKHScriptPubKey(pubKey = privKey.publicKey)
val amount = 10000.satoshis

// this is the UTXO we are going to be spending
val utxo =
  TransactionOutput(value = amount, scriptPubKey = creditingSpk)

// the private key that locks the funds for the script we are spending too
val destinationPrivKey = ECPrivateKey.freshPrivateKey

// the amount we are sending -- 5000 satoshis -- to the destinationSPK
val destinationAmount = 5000.satoshis

// the script that corresponds to destination private key, this is what is protecting the money
val destinationSPK =
  P2PKHScriptPubKey(pubKey = destinationPrivKey.publicKey)

// this is where we are sending money too
// we could add more destinations here if we
// wanted to batch transactions
val destinations = {

// UTXO we are trying to spend. If this were a real blockchain
// we would need to reference the UTXO set

//spending one UTXO, this is just one element

// for this example, we are going to pay 1 satoshi per byte

// Let's finally produce a validly signed tx!
// The 'sign' method is going produce a validly signed transaction
// This is going to iterate through each of the UTXOs and use
// the corresponding UTXOSpendingInfo to produce a validly
// signed input. This UTXO has:
//   1: one input
//   2: outputs (destination and change outputs)
//   3: a fee rate of 1 satoshi/byte
