This question is almost the opposite of How to find the change / sender address given a txid?

If I am making a transaction using createrawtransaction how can I define the change (sender) address?

In Bitcoin, change is a normal output which sends the remaining money to one of your addresses. When creating a transaction with createrawtransaction, you have to add change output manually (just like any other output), otherwise that money would go to the miners.

  • i came with the same question because im not sure how to define the 2nd output. the example shows the output as a single object, not an array. – Sonic Soul Sep 01 '18 at 16:12
