AlgoMS is a command line application that makes signing Algorand transactions with an offline multisig wallet just a little bit easier, and a little bit faster.
Instead of entering a separate algokey command for every key and every transaction file, use AlgoMS to sign one or more Algorand transactions with multiple private keys all at once.
You should have Node.js, npm, and algokey installed on your offline computer / wallet prior to using AlgoMS. From the main algoms directory, enter the command 'npm install -g' to enable the global command 'algoms'.
Run 'algoms' with options '-t' and '-k' for each transaction you want to sign and each seed phrase (private key) you want to sign the transaction(s) with, repectively. You can sign as many transactions as you want with as many keys as you want to sign them with, but you must input at least one transaction and one key for the program to execute successfully.
You can also run AlgoMS by entering 'node .', followed by your options, in the main algoms directory.
Ensure that no error messages appear below the standard program output in the terminal. If no errors are present, your transaction files have been signed.
AlgoMS names your signed output files for you and creates them in the same directory where the unsigned input files reside. Prior to submitting your transaction to the blockchain, you must export the signed tx files to an online computer with access to an Algorand node. From there, follow these steps:
-
Merge the signed files into a single signed file (one master signed multisig file per transaction) using 'goal clerk multisig merge'.
-
Submit the merged multisig transaction(s) to the blockchain using 'goal clerk rawsend'.
