Description
When the node receives a transaction, it deserialises the transaction JSON to a dict, part of this process is that small numbers (e.g 0.0000025) are converted to exponential notation. This is causing the signature verification step to fail when the transaction is not sent from python.
This fix changes the way the tx is handled - the
payload
is now extracted from the tx as a string, which is then used to verify the signature against.Additionally, this PR also includes the removal of some redundant verification steps - in finalise_tx and in check_tx (where it was being done twice.)
