-
-## Introduction
-
-This tutorial builds on your knowledge of basic `WalletClient` usage to explore advanced transaction construction patterns. You'll learn how to create sophisticated transactions that handle multiple inputs and outputs, optimize fees, and manage UTXOs effectively for production applications.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- Complete the [Transaction Types and Data](./transaction-types.md) tutorial
-- Have a BRC-100 compliant wallet (such as the [MetaNet Desktop Wallet](https://desktop.bsvb.tech/)) installed and configured
-- Some BSV in your wallet
-- Understanding of Bitcoin transaction fundamentals
-
-## Advanced `WalletClient` Options
-
-The `createAction` method supports many advanced options through the `options` parameter. Let's explore these capabilities:
-
-```typescript
-import { WalletClient } from '@bsv/sdk'
-
-async function exploreAdvancedOptions() {
-  try {
-    const wallet = new WalletClient('auto', 'localhost')
-    
-    // Authenticate with the wallet
-    const { authenticated } = await wallet.isAuthenticated()
-    if (!authenticated) {
-      await wallet.waitForAuthentication()
-    }
-
-    // Create a transaction with advanced options
-    const actionResult = await wallet.createAction({
-      description: 'Advanced options demonstration',
-      outputs: [
-        {
-          satoshis: 100,
-          lockingScript: '006a0e416476616e636564206f7074696f6e73', // OP_RETURN "Advanced options"
-          outputDescription: 'Advanced options demo'
-        }
-      ],
-      options: {
-        // Don't automatically sign and process - gives you more control
-        signAndProcess: false,
-        
-        // Accept delayed broadcast for better fee optimization
-        acceptDelayedBroadcast: true,
-        
-        // Return only the transaction ID to save bandwidth
-        returnTXIDOnly: false,
-        
-        // Don't send the transaction immediately
-        noSend: true,
-        
-        // Randomize output order for privacy
-        randomizeOutputs: true
-      }
-    })
-
-    console.log('Transaction created with advanced options:')
-    console.log('Signable transaction available for manual processing')
-    
-    if (actionResult.signableTransaction) {
-      console.log('Transaction reference:', actionResult.signableTransaction.reference)
-      console.log('Transaction ready for signing')
-    }
-
-  } catch (error: any) {

-## Multi-Input Transaction Construction
-
-Multi-input transactions combine multiple UTXOs to fund larger outputs. The BSV TypeScript SDK provides two approaches:
-
-1. **Automatic Input Selection (Recommended)**: Let the wallet automatically select UTXOs by creating outputs that require more satoshis than any single UTXO can provide.
-
-2. **Manual Input Specification (Advanced)**: Explicitly specify which UTXOs to use as inputs. This requires providing complete unlocking script information and is typically only needed for specialized use cases.
-
-```typescript
-import { WalletClient } from '@bsv/sdk'
-
-async function createMultiInputTransaction() {
-  try {
-    const wallet = new WalletClient('auto', 'localhost')
-    
-    const { authenticated } = await wallet.isAuthenticated()
-    if (!authenticated) {
-      await wallet.waitForAuthentication()
-    }
-
-    // First, let's see what UTXOs we have available (basket name is 'bsv-tutorial' for consistency with previous tutorials, where we created some outputs)
-    const { outputs } = await wallet.listOutputs({
-      basket: 'bsv-tutorial',
-      include: 'locking scripts',
-      limit: 10
-    })
-
-    console.log(`Found ${outputs.length} available outputs:`)
-    outputs.forEach((output, index) => {
-      console.log(`  ${index + 1}. ${output.outpoint}: ${output.satoshis} satoshis (spendable: ${output.spendable})`)
-    })
-
-    // Check if we have enough UTXOs for a multi-input transaction
-    const spendableOutputs = outputs.filter(output => output.spendable && output.satoshis >= 100)
-    
-    if (spendableOutputs.length < 2) {
-      console.log('Need at least 2 spendable outputs for this demo')
-      return
-    }
-
-    // Method 1: Automatic Input Selection (Recommended)
-    
-    // Create a transaction that requires multiple inputs by using a large output amount
-    // The wallet will automatically select multiple UTXOs if needed
-    const totalAvailable = spendableOutputs.reduce((sum, output) => sum + output.satoshis, 0)
-    const largeAmount = Math.min(1500, Math.floor(totalAvailable * 0.8)) // Use 80% of available funds
-

-    console.log(`View on explorer: https://whatsonchain.com/tx/${actionResult.txid}`)

-## Batch Processing Multiple Payments
-
-For businesses and applications that need to send multiple payments efficiently, batch processing reduces fees and blockchain footprint:
-
-```typescript
-import { WalletClient } from '@bsv/sdk'
-
-async function createBatchPayment() {
-  try {
-    const wallet = new WalletClient('auto', 'localhost')
-    
-    const { authenticated } = await wallet.isAuthenticated()
-    if (!authenticated) {
-      await wallet.waitForAuthentication()
-    }
-
-    // Simulate multiple payment recipients
-    const payments = [
-      { amount: 100, description: 'Payment to Alice', data: 'Invoice #001' },
-      { amount: 150, description: 'Payment to Bob', data: 'Invoice #002' },
-      { amount: 200, description: 'Payment to Carol', data: 'Invoice #003' }
-    ]
-
-    // Create outputs for each payment
-    const outputs = payments.map((payment, index) => {
-      // Create OP_RETURN with payment data
-      const dataHex = Buffer.from(payment.data).toString('hex')
-      const dataLength = Buffer.from(payment.data).length

-## Advanced UTXO Management with Baskets
-
-Baskets provide powerful UTXO organization capabilities. Here's how to use them for advanced transaction patterns:
-
-```typescript

-## Transaction Chaining and Dependencies
-
-Sometimes you need to create transactions that depend on previous ones. Here's how to handle transaction chaining:
-
-```typescript
-import { WalletClient } from '@bsv/sdk'
-
-async function createTransactionChain() {
-  try {
-    const wallet = new WalletClient('auto', 'localhost')
-    
-    const { authenticated } = await wallet.isAuthenticated()
-    if (!authenticated) {
-      await wallet.waitForAuthentication()
-    }
-
-    console.log('Creating transaction chain...')
-    console.log('Transaction chaining allows you to create a series of transactions that depend on each other.')
-    console.log('This is useful for scenarios where you need to ensure that a transaction is only processed after a previous one has been confirmed.')
-    console.log('In this example, we will create two transactions: the first one creates an output, and the second one spends that output.')
-
-    // First transaction - creates outputs for the chain
-    const firstTx = await wallet.createAction({
-      description: 'Chain starter transaction',
-      outputs: [
-        {
-          satoshis: 400,
-          lockingScript: '006a0d436861696e207374617274657220', // OP_RETURN "Chain starter"
-          outputDescription: 'Chain starter output',
-          basket: 'chain-demo',
-          tags: ['chain', 'step-1']
-        }
-      ],
-      options: {
-        acceptDelayedBroadcast: true // Allow some delay for better fee optimization

-
-    if (!firstTx.txid) {
-      console.log('First transaction failed')
-      return

-
-    console.log(`First transaction: ${firstTx.txid}`)
-
-    // Wait a moment for the transaction to be processed
-    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 2000))
-
-    // Second transaction - demonstrates chaining with sendWith option
-    // Note: We use automatic input selection rather than manual specification
-    // Manual input specification requires unlockingScript and unlockingScriptLength
-    // which adds complexity for tutorial purposes
-    const secondTx = await wallet.createAction({
-      description: 'Chain continuation transaction',
-      outputs: [

-          outputDescription: 'Chain continuation output',
-          basket: 'chain-demo',
-          tags: ['chain', 'step-2']
-        }
-      ],
-      options: {
-        sendWith: [firstTx.txid] // Ensure this transaction is sent with the first one
-      }
-    })
-
-    if (secondTx.txid) {
-      console.log(`Second transaction: ${secondTx.txid}`)
