Signs a Aidpcoin transaction

The sole purpose of this project is to enable us to "Sign AIDP or asset transfer transactions in pure JavaScript"

Working proof of concept.

We are able to sign Aidpcoin asset transfers using bitcoinjs-lib version 5.2 with a patched Transaction Builder.

How to use

The sign method has four arguments

1. The network "string", can be "aidp" | "aidp-test" | "evr" | "evr-test",
2. The raw transaction (in hex)
3. An array of UTXO objects to use
4. Private keys. An object with "address" as key and "WIF" as value

returns a signed transaction (hex), after that it is up to you to publish it on the network

What we need

We need code that can take the UNSIGNED transaction, and sign it using the private keys. This transaction transfers one FREN/CIVILAZATION asset/token and pays fees in AIDP.

Important stuff learned

• Signing a transaction means, sign the inputs to the transaction and sign the whole transaction.

• To sign a transaction, inputs and outputs are not enough, we need the UTXOs used (to get each utxo.script)

• bitcoinjs-lib cant sign an unsigned transaction from Aidpcoin out of the box because of this line in transaction_builder.js

  const prevOutScript = payments.p2pkh({ pubkey: ourPubKey }).output;

  That is, transaction_builder assumes that the previous outputscript was "just" our pub key/address, that is not true in the case of Aidpcoin asset transfer transactions.
