sendassetfrom - where does the change go?

Wed, 14 Oct 2015 11:17:00 +0000

When sending assets using the sendassetfrom JSON-RPC api, where does the change go? Is it returned to the sending address, or is it dumped on any random address in the wallet?

Does the SendFrom RPC support assets?

Given that the API does not currently support the sending of assets from a designated address, I'm wondering if the SendFrom bitcoin RPC can be used to send assets instead.

Although I appreciate that accounts are to be deprecated at some stage in the future, as an intermediate workaround I'm wondering if I could create an account per address and use the SendFrom RPC to send assets, specifying the account name when calling the method. Used in conjunction with the getassetbalances RPC, this would also solve the question of asset balances by address.

Of course, this would only work if the change from the transaction were sent to an address in the account that send the assets in the first place.

So I guess that the question is twofold: can we use sendfrom with assets and does/can the change go to an address in the same account?

Two node addresses in receive category

For the same transaction on both nodes I see the current node address in the address field and "receive" in the category field. This is strange for me is it a bug or is it because the unspent part got transferred to the loopback (current node) address so eventually there was some received assets?
