Can't deploy pox-3 contract on testnet, Failed to deserialize posted transaction: Invalid Stacks string: non-printable or non-ASCII string

[llwinner]

I tried to depoly pox-3 contract on testnet, I copied the contract SP000000000000000000002Q6VF78.pox-3 and follow the example:
https://github.com/hirosystems/stacks.js/tree/main/packages/transactions
But when I run code I got an error: Failed to deserialize posted transaction: Invalid Stacks string: non-printable or non-ASCII string
I can deploy hello-stacks contract on testnet with the same code. I tried to deploy pox-2 contract and got the same error.
What should I do?
Please help me, thanks!

Good question, I'll have to look into the exact contract code.

It turns out the pox-3 contract isn't meant to be deployed as is. The blockchain is doing some more work and concatenation to make it run. What are you trying to achieve, maybe we can help? 😀

@janniks Thanks for your reply. I want to test that contract on testnet, but just as you said, the blockchain is doing some more work and concatenation to make it run. So I will debug my code on mainnet.
