Questions on Parent Child Inscriptions

[skyrover7]

I know the ordinals docs does provide some brief examples of the bitcoin script required for creating a parent child inscription and it does seem straightforward in ord wallet. However if creating the transaction and envelope manually I was wondering how does one Spend the parent P in one of the inputs of T.?

You have to manually construct the transaction by selecting as one of the inputs the one that contains the parent inscriptions. If you're interested how we do it have a look at the file src/subcommand/wallet/inscribe/batch.rs lines 209 and down.

thanks @raphjaph that's what i figured! thanks for the code ref. still fumbling about in bitcoin script trying to get it right.

can i use an inscription that i created from ord client when i no longer have access to that client? I do have access to the inscription.

also can a parent have multiple chlidren? does anything special need to be done with the parent to support that?

[raphjaph]

yes you can do it sequentially as well. There's no limit to how many children you can create under one parent. The command with ord would be ord wallet inscribe --parent <PARENT_ID> --file <CHILD_INSCRIPTION>

I was trying to add multiple parent to a child inscription .
So , according the the "Ordinal Theory Handbook" ,

I follow the first 2 points .According to the second bullet point I spend both parent inscription as first 2 inputs , and the creation of the child inscription is the 3rd input.

But my doubt is in the 3rd bullet point , Which serialised binary inscription ID should I include in the tag 3 the first parent's or the seconds , if i have to add both how do i do it?

@skyrover7 Could you please help me with the code part of it ?
Or connect me with whom I can get my doubts clarified?

[raphjaph]

you include two tag 3 fields with the respective parent ids

[rohitkeshav27]

Yeah thanks alot.

I have noticed sometimes 2 parents are shown and sometimes only one parent on Ordinals.com ,

Why is that the case ?

It is allowed to specify any amount of parents.

[rohitkeshav27]

I understand it can support any number of parents, but why does it not show sometimes in the Ordinals.com?
