question:

In my chain, 2 stream exists with same name ie 'stream33'. is it possible?

and stream34 already exist, but i am not able to liststreamitems. and it is not allowing to create a stream also.

And when I tried to check key values again in 'stream33', the key values are set to " ".

  {
        "key" : "",
        "items" : 2,
        "confirmed" : 2
    }

whereas earlier the stream was having key values.

Can you tell me the possible reason for this unwanted and automatic changes in multichain streams?

Answer 1

There seems to be some issue with how you are entering commands into the command line. For example see these lines:

multichain-cli chaint liststreamitems "stream34"
{"method":"liststreamitems","params":["chr8stream34"],"id":"77217000-1701004620","chain_name":"chaint"}

In the top line stream name appears to be stream34 but somehow this is being read as chr8stream34 by multichain-cli.

Comments

i had 2 chains, in one chain i was using 'stream34' name only. In both chains, same issue is there. In above message, bymistake i have copied message from a previous chain, which i have already deleted( since 2 chains had same name).
[i will edit it]

But this issue i have noticed in other chains as well, created from different python file.

OK. Please send a full transcript of multichain-cli commands, and their outputs, sent to a single chain which show the problem.
