multichain-cli survey gettotalbalances problem

Sat, 01 Sep 2018 16:38:31 +0000

I'm making a survey using multichain, initially I created a blockchain, that i will call survey, on a computer (the poll server) and I issued 10 000 assets on it (token).
The I asked two different new address to the poll server (the two candidates for the election) and gave them the permission to receive token. On another computer (ex voter n1) I then connect to the blockchain survey, ask for a new address, and with this address i can receive a token, then i send the token to one of the two candidates. So far, so good, I can track how the voting is going launching the command "multichain-cli getaddressbalances" followed by the address of the candidate from the poll server.
The problem is, when from another computer (voter n.2) I make a new address and i receive the asset (token) the problem is that the asset that i receive is one of the candidates vote.
I've noticed that when i ask for an asset the "multichain-cli survey gettotalbalances" command (initially 10 000) goes to 9 999 and when i send the token to one of the candidates the "multichain-cli survey gettotalbalances" command goes back to 10 000 and the candidates who I gave the vote goes right to 1, so i think that's because it's the same wallet. when another voter ask for a token the poll server give him the candidates token, making the "multichain-cli survey gettotalbalance addresscandidates1" command return 0.

Is it normal for the blockchain to redistribute the assets like that ?
Is there anyone who can help me with this ?
Thanks

Transaction not being confirmed

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 17:33:39 +0000

I have followed the getting started tutorial and all worked, however when I sent some of the assets from server1 to server2 the transaction does not seem to confirm. Server1 shows the new balance when I run gettotalbalances, however not on server2. I do however see the new balance when I run gettotalbalances 0 i.e. it seems that the transaction is unconfirmed. Do transactions confirm automatically and if so after how long? Otherwise must I do something on server2 to confirm the transaction?

watch-only-address behaviour query

Mon, 23 May 2016 12:15:00 +0000

Hi,

I have two nodes, Node-A and Node-B.

Node-A has issued an asset to an address X i.e 'issue X asset 100'

Node-B uses the command 'importaddress X addressToWatch true'

Node-B now has watch only permissions on address X

Node-A performs a, preparelockunspent '{"asset":10}'

Node-A performs gettotalbalances which results in;

{
"name" : "asset",
"assetref" : "3130-266-11667",
"qty" : 90.00000000
},

Node-B performs, gettotalbalances 0 true false which results in;

{
"name" : "asset",
"assetref" : "3130-266-11667",
"qty" : 100.00000000
},

The same result for Node-B is returned when supplying true for the final parameter i.e.

gettotalbalances 0 true true

All commands were issued through the MultiChain CLI using:

"version" : "1.0 alpha 19",
"protocolversion" : 10005,

Is this the expected behaviour for watch only addresses? I was expecting to see the same result (balance) on both nodes when the final parameter (includeLocked) is false.
