How to Create a Multisig Address

To receive payment you must first create a multisig payment address. This example shows a "2 of 3" address, however it can be generalized to any "m of n" scenario.

From three random seeds, generate three private keys and corresponding public keys.

$ bx seed | bx ec-new | bx ec-to-public

Use the public keys to create the redeem script and the corresponding script hash address. The "2" represents the number signatures required to spend money received at the address and the "3" represents the number of possible signatures.

$ bx script-to-address "2 [ 02b66fcb1064d827094685264aaa90d0126861688932eafbd1d1a4ba149de3308b ] [ 025cab5e31095551582630f168280a38eb3a62b0b3e230b20f8807fc5463ccca3c ] [ 021098babedb3408e9ac2984adcf2a8e4c48e56a785065893f76d0fa0ff507f010 ] 3 checkmultisig"

Now you can spend some amount to the address. This is my spend transaction.
