Hash-Preimage Construction for a two p2pkh Input transaction?

When verifying a transaction, a Bitcoin node rebuilds the hash-preimage used to create each signature.

After serializing the hash-preimage for each input, the next step is to double-hash it and verify the signature for each input using the corresponding public key.

My question is: what is the exact serialized hash-preimage for each input? I haven't found clear guidance on how this should be constructed.

For example, take this transaction: https://mempool.space/es/tx/592ea2010ec259252959b6047e227ceac6ffd0dbbe20bad71248960c18a5d890

This transaction uses the SIGHASH_ALL flag, meaning that each signature signs all inputs and outputs.

Should the hash-preimage include the scriptPubKey of every input, or only the scriptPubKey of the input being signed, leaving the other inputs with an empty script (0x00)?

Example of My Attempt: Here is my attempt to construct the hash-preimage for signing both inputs:

01000000 - Version
02 - Number of inputs
19f4d40cb4204ad8429ec3d98d240661593edcfcfb8efcb3b684141ceb0df2e4 - First UTXO txid
00000000 - First UTXO output index
1976a914d52c9ce97c8dea0b71df687659a847a62c37732c88ac - scriptPubKey of first UTXO
ffffffff - Sequence for first input
22d07db06b68e4c15154db0ce0dd9c9dcd683a60a5117490451e0b52743492ca - Second UTXO txid
00000000 - Second UTXO output index
1976a91497ccdcca4f494b1bd652ad8f9d816b4bbb1108ac88ac - scriptPubKey of second UTXO
ffffffff - Sequence for second input
01 - Number of outputs
c047bfe54d000000 - Amount in satoshis
1976a91492512166101806dd6a695cbe56f883c3bea2a7e488ac - Output's scriptPubKey
00000000 - Locktime
01000000 - SIGHASH_ALL flag

When I try to construct the preimage for just one input (with the second input's scriptSig set to 0x00):

01000000 - Version
02 - Number of inputs
19f4d40cb4204ad8429ec3d98d240661593edcfcfb8efcb3b684141ceb0df2e4 - First UTXO txid
00000000 - First UTXO output index
1976a914d52c9ce97c8dea0b71df687659a847a62c37732c88ac - scriptPubKey of first UTXO
ffffffff - Sequence for first input
00 - Empty scriptSig for second input (set to 0x00)
ffffffff - Sequence for second input
01 - Number of outputs
c047bfe54d000000 - Amount in satoshis
1976a91492512166101806dd6a695cbe56f883c3bea2a7e488ac - Output's scriptPubKey
00000000 - Locktime
01000000 - SIGHASH_ALL flag

Am I correctly understanding how to set the scriptPubKey for non-signed inputs in the hash-preimage? Should I be clearing the scriptSig of other inputs as 0x00?

Thanks for any guidance!

Crypto Exec Warns Tokenization Is Moving Faster Than Expected

Image
According to a post shared on X by Keith Grossman, president of crypto payments firm MoonPay, finance is heading toward an onchain future that could unfold over several years. The view comes as large banks and asset managers begin product tokenization, a move that once seemed extreme but is now being treated as a practical step by major institutions. Regulatory Signals Push Institutions Forward Based on reports cited by Grossman, progress has accelerated because rules are becoming clearer. Legislative efforts, regulatory guidance, bank involvement and accounting standards are starting to line up. That combination reduces uncertainty, which is often what slows large pools of capital. BlackRock has already launched tokenized funds, while Franklin Templeton is running tokenized money market funds on public blockchains. Those actions suggest that tokenization is no longer confined to pilot labs or internal trials. It is being used with real assets and real clients. Bank of Ameri...

Bitcoin Mining Could Be Strengthening The Ruble, Russian Central Bank Says

Image
Bitcoin mining may be providing incremental support to the Russian ruble, Central Bank Governor Elvira Nabiullina said, while cautioning that the effect is difficult to measure because much of the sector still operates in a legal and reporting gray zone. Bitcoin Mining May Support The Ruble Responding to a question at a press conference, Nabiullina said it is “probably difficult to quantify” mining’s influence “because a significant part of mining is still in a gray area.” Still, she added that mining is “indeed one of the additional factors contributing to the strong ruble exchange rate.” As Russian business news portal for RBC reported , her remarks come as Russian officials increasingly frame mining and crypto flows as macro-relevant, not just a niche tech or energy story. Earlier, Maxim Oreshkin, deputy head of the presidential administration, said ruble forecasts have been thrown off by the underestimation of financial flows tied to mining and cryptocurrency. In his view, the s...

Nigerian SEC Partners With Police To Tackle Crypto Ponzi Schemes – Details

The Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is maintaining an intense focus on the local cryptocurrency industry, as indicated by recent developments. While introducing minimum capital requirements for previously unregulated virtual asset service providers (VASPs), the securities regulator has also formed an alliance with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) against cryptocurrency fraud, among other illegal operations. Nigerian SEC Looks To Improve Crypto Investors’ Protection According to local media Voice of Nigeria , the SEC is ramping up efforts aimed at investor protection and transparent market operations in the crypto ecosystem. In a recent meeting with the NPF, the Commission’s Director-General (DG), Dr. Emomotimi Agama, communicated to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Kayode Egbetokun, concerns over malicious actors in the financial markets who exploit investors’ trust for personal gains.  Dr. Agama said: They cloak their deceit in the glamorous but misunder...
