The easiest way is to call confirm(...) with the the operation value of the ConfirmationNeeded event.
I've created a multisig wallet on my Dev blockchain at address 0xb58Cb29C4689661498986ce80157c899507EDC4b.
I used the following JavaScript code to extract the ConfirmationNeeded event with the operation value:
var walletABIFragment = [{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":false,"name":"operation","type":"bytes32"},{"indexed":false,"name":"initiator","type":"address"},{"indexed":false,"name":"value","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":false,"name":"to","type":"address"},{"indexed":false,"name":"data","type":"bytes"}],"name":"ConfirmationNeeded","type":"event"}];
var walletAddress = "0xb58Cb29C4689661498986ce80157c899507EDC4b";
var walletInterface = web3.eth.contract(walletABIFragment).at(walletAddress);
var confirmationNeededEvent = walletInterface.ConfirmationNeeded({}, { fromBlock: 0 });
confirmationNeededEvent.watch(function(error, result) {
console.log(JSON.stringify(result));
console.log("operation: " + result.args.operation);
console.log("data: " + result.args.data);
console.log("blockNumber: " + result.blockNumber);
});
confirmationNeededEvent.stopWatching();
to produce the following results:
{"address":"0xb58cb29c4689661498986ce80157c899507edc4b","args":{"data":"0x","initiator":"0x000d1009bd8f0b1301cc5edc28ed1222a3ce671e","operation":"0xc801d42930eefb7a6d3dc64afbdc761e60dd843876810750f4b290b09cdbb68e","to":"0x0036f6addb6d64684390f55a92f0f4988266901b","value":"15000000000000000000"},"blockHash":"0xba7082ec03d91c83631d0d6b667c21574692fdada0d8a66ff8fd3ab92f99643d","blockNumber":20160,"event":"ConfirmationNeeded","logIndex":1,"removed":false,"transactionHash":"0xdd0d348d84afc5176ff6a220101ca3f1a6ed26887ad1aaeb04fee1bd1d21927f","transactionIndex":0}
operation: 0xc801d42930eefb7a6d3dc64afbdc761e60dd843876810750f4b290b09cdbb68e
data: 0x
blockNumber: 20160
To confirm your multisig transaction, you will have to call
confirm("0xc801d42930eefb7a6d3dc64afbdc761e60dd843876810750f4b290b09cdbb68e")
Here is the screenshot from Ethereum Wallet showing the confirmation screen with the confirmation hash:
The first part of the byte string in the screen above is the confirm(...) method signature - this can be verified by executing the following statement in geth:
> web3.sha3("confirm(bytes32)").substring(0,10)
"0x797af627"
From the source code to the execute(...) function, you can see that the operation value is generated using the expression _r = sha3(msg.data, block.number);.
function execute(address _to, uint _value, bytes _data) external onlyowner returns (bytes32 _r) {
...
// determine our operation hash.
_r = sha3(msg.data, block.number);
...
if (!confirm(_r) && m_txs[_r].to == 0) {
...
ConfirmationNeeded(_r, msg.sender, _value, _to, _data);
}
}
So you could generate the operation value from sha3(data, blockNumber), but there are some differences in calling sha3(...) within the Solidity contract code and from JavaScript. Reference How does Solidity's sha3 / keccak256 hash uints?.
Here is a code fragment that fits in within the watch(function(...){...}); code that I have NOT got to work correctly yet:
function pad64(str) {
var result = '';
while (result.length < 64 - str.length) {
result += '0';
}
return result + str;
}
var data = pad64("");
console.log("data64 : " + data);
var blockNumber = pad64(result.blockNumber.toString(16));
console.log("blockNumber64: " + blockNumber);
console.log("sha3: " + web3.sha3(data, blockNumber, { encoding: 'hex' }));
which produces the following results:
operation: 0xc801d42930eefb7a6d3dc64afbdc761e60dd843876810750f4b290b09cdbb68e

// Above sha3 does NOT match operation
Note I've tried many different combinations but have not been able to generate a sha3(data="", blockNumber=20160) result that matches operation.
Multisig Wallet Source Code
I've taken the source code from https://github.com/ethereum/dapp-bin/blob/master/wallet/wallet.sol, added ; after the _ statements, added payable after the function(), and added a conditional throw around the call.value(...). The methods relevant to this question are execute(...) and confirm(...) at the bottom of the source code:
