How To Create An Internal Msig That Will Satisfy An External Msig

Example problem: There is an msig proposal put forth to all active Block Producers. Since the eoscanadacom active permissions requires a weight of 4, derived from multiple signers within EOS Canada, an internal msig needs to be crafted.

Steps

1. Create the transaction JSON file

eosc multisig approve [proposer] [proposal_name] eoscanadacom@active --expiration 3600 --skip-sign --write-transaction [file_name].json

• Use the expiration field to ensure you'll have enough time to gather the required threshold. (measured in seconds)
• --skip-sign will remove the signing step, and ensure that the transaction is not broadcast
• --write-transaction will create a json file of the transaction

2. If you'd like to verify the contents of the transaction, run:

eosc tx unpack [file_name].json

You should have a print out like this:

{
  "expiration": "2018-12-10T21:12:40",
  "ref_block_num": 25106,
  "ref_block_prefix": 3701366316,
  "max_net_usage_words": 0,
  "max_cpu_usage_ms": 0,
  "delay_sec": 0,
  "context_free_actions": [],
  "actions": [
    {
      "account": "eosio.msig",
      "name": "approve",
      "authorization": [
        {
          "actor": "eoscanadacom",
          "permission": "active"
        }
      ],
      "data": {
        "level": {
          "actor": "eoscanadacom",
          "permission": "active"
        },
        "proposal_name": [proposal_name],
        "proposer": [proposer]
      }
    }
  ],
  "transaction_extensions": [],
  "signatures": [],
  "context_free_data": []
}

3. To create the internal msig, run:

eosc multisig propose [your_account_name] [new_proposal_name] [file_name].json --requested-permissions eoscanadacom@active --with-subaccounts

Using the --with-subaccounts flag will automatically fill in all of the account names associated to that permission.

4. Pass along

eosc multisig review [your_account_name] [new_proposal_name]

to all requested signatories.

5. Executing the proposal Once the required weight threshold has been met, anyone can run

eosc multisig exec [proposer] [new_proposal_name] [executer]

and the approval of the original proposal should now be signed.
