This is a copy and paste of the command line out I got from the zcrawpour portion of the guide:

ok… I think I was messing it up by wrapping various long hexadecimal fields in double quote characters.

So far as I can tell, the output I’m getting from signrawtransaction is the same as the value I’m feeding into it.

This is a small issue I’ve noticed with the last couple of revisions…

rpc-tests.sh expects to find z5-verifying.key in the .zcash-params/regtest directory but zcashd expects it to be in the testnet3 directory (although, if zcash.conf doesn’t exist, it seems to expect it in regtest).
