How to properly sign transaction from non-base address?

Developers Misc Dev Talk

I extracted wallet keys using cardano-address binary and wallet recovery phrase, that way I got base address of a wallet and couple of private signing keys, such as payment.skey and stake.skey, now I was trying to rebalance the UTXOs in the wallet by transferring some UTXO on non-base address to base address, but I keep getting:

Command failed: transaction submit  Error: Error while submitting tx: ShelleyTxValidationError ShelleyBasedEraAlonzo (ApplyTxError [UtxowFailure (WrappedShelleyEraFailure (MissingVKeyWitnessesUTXOW (WitHashes (fromList [KeyHash "0dff37ed19839204f7a97c06d5ca7389de8b07fd3134f4602e710bd8"]))))])

Do I need to generate some special skey to sign transactions from non-base addresses? What is wrong here? I signed this using:

cardano-cli transaction sign \
>  --tx-body-file tx.raw \
>  --signing-key-file payment.skey \
>  --signing-key-file stake.skey \
>  $CLI_NET \
>  --out-file tx.signed

this is how I created the transaction

cardano-cli transaction build-raw \
 --tx-in ba7f6a4df5cfd1441c17fad2e13151836ab4dffd399f96d2de8ccfb8aec9c2e8#0 \
 --tx-out addr_test1qrkgk39056jpqwam5rgnf29ey8tquyyqw495t8ptdevvvuyf6ahuf3sz9zexykpa884wl0687hut78u3xg66fvnldt4qjxzxyw+17653114 \
 --invalid-hereafter $(( ${currentSlot} + 10000)) \
--fee ${fee} \
 --out-file tx.raw

Note: this has nothing to do with pool operation, I am coding some tipping bot and this is part of it. I would like to understand which exact signature is missing here? Similar commands work with base address, but not with alternative addresses.

that only works with base address as I already mentioned, I am looking for a way to send from secondary address

basically what I am doing is pretty much same as in this example: Listening for ADA payments using cardano-cli | Cardano Developer Portal except that documentation is never going to work in practice, as you need to distinguish “customers” from each other, for that reason I am generating non-base addresses for each “customer” so that I can track how much each of them sent. But then I am “coalescing” the UTXOs into one huge on the base address, and that’s where I get the problems, because the payment.skey doesn’t work for non-base addresses it seems.

Perhaps an example of fully operational payment model would be great.
