I think you are mixing inputs with outputs. In the outputs there will be the addresses someone is sending values. – Osias Jota – 2018-03-20T00:14:15.517

@OsiasJota Thanks for that. Do you know what is being signed? – Kyle Graham – 2018-03-20T00:38:01.347

please also have a look here https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/22461/signrawtransaction-what-is-scriptpubkey-and-redeemscript-solved?rq=1 and here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/8250/what-is-relation-between-scriptsig-and-scriptpubkey?rq=1 - this question has been answered already in the forum if you search for sign transaction. I vote to close as this is a possible duplicate.

short answer: the transaction without the sigscript is hashed, and this hash is signed. The steps are in the links. Another very good explanation is here: http://www.righto.com/2014/02/bitcoins-hard-way-using-raw-bitcoin.html, and of course you need to read Andreas fantastic book "Mastering Bitcoin" :-)

Thanks @pebwindkraft , I've been trying to get through the book, sometimes I have burning questions and want to solidify my understanding as in most cases, I get something wrong. Thanks again – Kyle Graham – 2018-03-20T11:03:51.340

1yup - in this exciting environment we all go through the same emotions ! :-) – pebwindkraft – 2018-03-20T12:33:46.353

@pebwindkraft I'm nearly finished learning the basics. You have helped me quite a lot in understanding bitcoin. If I may ask one more favour, could my question on forks, I am not quite sure what the person answering is talking about as the terminology is quite hard to grasp. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/72662/what-would-happen-if-two-miners-were-mining-two-blocks-with-two-different-set-of/72670?noredirect=1#comment84094_72670 Thanks for the help
