:transaction_hash => "2f47a8d7537fd981670b6142f86e1961991577506a825cdfb4c6ab3666db4fc1",

transaction.add_change(change_address)
# Set the script_sigs manually
transaction.inputs[0].script_sig = "foo"
transaction.inputs[1].script_sig = "bar"
# Or use an iterating helper method. First argument is an array of
# items corresponding to the inputs. The block yields to you each
# input, along with the corresponding element from your array.
transaction.set_script_sigs *keypairs do |input, keypair|
