Trying multisig. So I created electrum multisig-wallets on desktop. I can use desktop electrum to initiate sending and use the android electrum to cosign it, just fine.

How do you do that?

I can't seem to find an option to load a raw transaction. Would like to load it from the clipboard. The menu only has About, Wallets, Settings and the nav bar on top has Invoices, Send, History, Receive, Request. The only thing that would make sense is Send, but in there it only allows to paste a BTC address for the recipient of a new transaction. I'm stuck.


When android multisig wallet electrum sends coin, it says "Partially signed" with a QR code. ... I also scanned that with my desktop electrum (using load transaction..) It says "unable to parse".

There hasn't been an answer to this one. I have the same problem. "Electrum was unable to parse your transactionn - [OK]" No, it's not OK! That means I can't use multisig with computer and phone. Phone can't load transaction from computer (see above); computer can't load transaction from phone (this error). What now?


I think one of the problem is, in android version, the QR gives "non hex" format of raw transaction ( something like this AFEA*0JN*-P9O1OY+:GV+.GKECS2R$KZW9$6MU6KPMMJLRI74SCEVS$K$NEASLB0.R.U3KEGJ+1UHYGF-Y-:PEY:ES-0D-$P0TUX1F4D6S5P..... ), while in desktop version the qr data is in hex format.
this "non hex" format is called base43
it should be what both the desktop version and the android version use.

It isn't. The QR data on both Android and desktop is in this base43 format (a transaction I just scanned starts with "1ISB$SFI3P2JC/$*DD:3GO..."), but the Copy and Save buttons on desktop generate hex data (same transaction: "0100000001d004750e5c4c76b74...").

BTW, I'm using Electrum Android 2.8.2, installed via .apk from the Electrum site. I can't use Google Play. On desktop Electrum 2.8.3 on MacOS 10.11 El Capitan. Both latest versions as of today.
