LIGHTNING-TXPREPARE(7) Manual Page

lightning-txprepare - Command to prepare to withdraw funds from the internal wallet.

SYNOPSIS

txprepare destination satoshi [feerate] [minconf]

DESCRIPTION

The txprepare RPC command creates an unsigned transaction which spends funds from c-lightning’s internal wallet to the address specified in destination.

Effectively, it is the first part of a withdraw command, and uses the same parameters. The second part is provided by txsend.

RETURN VALUE

On success, an object with attributes unsigned_tx and txid will be returned. You need to hand txid to txsend or txdiscard, as the inputs of this transaction are reserved until then, or until the daemon restarts.

unsigned_tx represents the raw bitcoin transaction (not yet signed) and txid represent the bitcoin transaction id.

On failure, an error is reported and the transaction is not created.

The following error codes may occur:

  • -1: Catchall nonspecific error.
  • 301: There are not enough funds in the internal wallet (including fees) to create the transaction.
  • 302: The dust limit is not met.
