                              For `CREATE` Transactions, this should usually just be a list of
                              Outputs wrapping Ed25519 Conditions generated from the issuers' public
                              keys (so that the issuers are the recipients of the created asset).

                                 Transaction.
                                 Note: Each of the private keys corresponding to the given public
                                 keys MUST be used later (and in the same order) when signing the
                                 Transaction (`signTransaction()`).

Returns **[Object][52]** Unsigned transaction -- make sure to call signTransaction() on it before

Returns **[Object][52]** Preimage-Sha256 Condition (that will need to wrapped in an Output)

### makeThresholdCondition

[src/transaction.js:162-176][75]

Create an Sha256 Threshold Cryptocondition from threshold to put into an Output of a Transaction

#### Parameters

-   `threshold` **[number][76]** 
-   `subconditions` **[Array][70]**  (optional, default `[]`)

### makeTransferTransaction

[src/transaction.js:199-220][77]

                              Think of these as the recipients of the asset after the transaction.
                              For `TRANSFER` Transactions, this should usually just be a list of
                              Outputs wrapping Ed25519 Conditions generated from the public keys of
                              the recipients.

                                        Note that listed public keys listed must be used (and in
                                        the same order) to sign the Transaction
                                        (`signTransaction()`).
