addmultisigaddress JSON-RPC command

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

Add a nrequired-to-sign multisignature address to the wallet. Requires a new wallet backup. Each key is a Bitcoin Cash address or hex-encoded public key. This functionality is only intended for use with non-watchonly addresses. See `importaddress` for watchonly p2sh address support. If 'label' is specified (DEPRECATED), assign address to that label.

Arguments

1. nrequired (numeric, required) The number of required signatures out of the n keys or addresses. 2. keys (json array, required) A json array of Bitcoin Cash addresses or hex-encoded public keys [ "key", (string) Bitcoin Cash address or hex-encoded public key ... ] 3. "label" (string, optional) A label to assign the addresses to.

Result

{ "address":"multisigaddress", (string) The value of the new multisig address. "redeemScript":"script" (string) The string value of the hex-encoded redemption script. }
