This article shows you how to analyse and sign transactions.

If you are curious what the transaction you are about to sign does, then execute the following command decoderawtransaction on the hex payload.

You can see the participant payments in the "vout" section as shown above. Find the one with your address and make sure the amount corresponds to your pledge. Note that a minor transaction fee has been subtracted to your pledge.

All of this should be properly generated and then you need to sign the transaction

In order to sign the transaction you will need the private key for the Masternode multisig wallet that you have pledged to. Note: This is not (and should not be) the private key for your primary address with CrowdNode (the one that we pay to).

If everything is fine, then it will result in a response that is either in black or white text. Then everything is fine, despite there might be an error message like these:

Despite the wording, then it is all fine. If something is wrong you will get a red error message.

Just grab the result from bracket to brackets and paste it into the platform.
