Error 0x40004e4b: Failed to broadcast raw transaction
The error message you are receiving indicates that the Bitcoin testnet, also known as the “Testnet” or “Rig Testnet”, is not accepting your broadcast of raw transactions (P2PKH). This issue can occur due to several factors, including:
- Incorrect signature
- Invalid signature format
Here are some steps you can take to resolve this issue:
Step 1: Verify your signature
Make sure that the signature is correct and in the standard format used by Bitcoin. For a valid transaction, the signature must be zero.
Step 2: Verify your signature format
If your signature is not in the correct format, try changing it to the standard format [0x…txid…hash…signature]. If you are still experiencing issues, consider checking the official documentation or seeking help from the Bitcoin community.
Further troubleshooting steps:
- Check network compatibility: Make sure your testnet is compatible with P2PKH transactions.
- Update your software: Regularly update your Bitcoin software to ensure you have the latest features and fixes.
- Check the official documentation
