The order of the keys on coinbin matters. Try a different order and you'll get a different multisig address.
So I've been messing around with multisig on Electrum and trying to figure it all out. My question is about exporting private keys. For example, I created a 2-of-2 multisig wallet. Then I took the compressed private key from the export section from each wallet, from the same address. Then, I went to bitaddress.org and put the private key into it and got the public key for each of the 2 corresponding keys.
I assume that I need to combine these 2 keys to output the corresponding multisig address. So I decide to use the multisig address tool on coinb.in to see if they correspond to the correct multisig address. Well when I enter the 2 public keys, it outputs a totally different multisig address than what the originally private keys were linked to and is in my wallet. I tried this with the private keys of addresses with a 2-of-2 wallet and a 2-of-3 wallet. I can't get them to match.
So I guess my question is what am I doing wrong and how do I properly export the keys needed to retrieve funds? This is my first time using multisig.
