What operating system? @p{par} Something is stripping off the double-quotes from the "txid" and "vout" keys before it gets to bitcoind. If you're using bash on linux, then put single quotes around the arguments. Like this: @p{par} Code: createrawtransaction '[{"txid":eb63d5d53cd906b5cf75a014e1bcf1c0198ae58d378d45dbfa15045ac89a38ac,"vout":0}]' '{"1FQvMNzFJRf2nFJbhri2pWEVMqTtdLSCmA":23.36129790}' @p{brk} I also corrected the second argument, the address is a string (strings in JSON are always "whatever") and the amount is decimal number-of-bitcoins. @p{brk}
