Can you explain to me what decodescript does? about orisi

[Gricha]

script in general is a pseudo language used by bitcoin. decodescript decodes script :)
redeemScript is a script that is necessary to sign transaction from multisignature address. If you are a part of multisig and you'll create multisig address bitcoind will give you address and redeemScript. It's absolutely needed to prove you are owner of that address (address is defined by addresses only, but you can retrieve redeemScript only from public keys)

This commit is not very good. From redeemscript we can very easily get addresses that are part of multisig address and can easily determine order of signing

• decodescript decodes script from what?
• redeemScript - okok, it's necessary, but what is it?
• scriptPubKey - what is it?
• what's the relation between the address (e.g. '33QfFivxapNeJQgGhxQvh8Hhmhg8AMGN7Z'), and the redeemScript, scriptPubKey and script itself?

I can't find a good explaination of this anywhere.

• DecodeScript takes the script, and provides address and other parameters (see: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/f748ff730b4570a19610db67aa9ded28ba98a8c5/src/rpcrawtransaction.cpp -- function decodescript)
