Why is this (testnet) transaction considered invalid?

Data in the transaction looks ok. vout has value of .001 and you are leaving .0001 for a fee. Maybe not signing it properly :)

Why do you think it's invalid? There data in the transaction looks ok to me but maybe your not signing it properly before transmitting? – Dustin Butler – 2015-12-26T21:37:12.813

It was an order of operations issue -- I was signing BEFORE specifying the fee.

Please add this is an answer to the question and I will mark it as such.

Thanks! – Klakurka – 2015-12-26T21:45:53.253
