const encryptedKey = '<private key beginning with 6>'
const password = '<private key password>'
const privateKey = decrypt(encryptedKey, password).privateKey

'scriptPubKey': '<scriptPubKey>',
'satoshis': <satoshis>,
}
const tx = new Transaction()
tx.from(utxo)
tx.to('<to address>', <amount in satoshis>)
tx.fee(30000) // for ~258 bytes
tx.change('<back to origin address?>')
tx.sign(privateKey)
console.log(tx.toString())
