Need of explicit generation of public/private keypair...

Mon, 10 Apr 2017 05:17:04 +0000

Initially, I was assuming that MultiChain, implicitly handles generation of public/private key pair & sharing public key with connecting nodes.

But later, saw "createkeypair" API command.

In what circumstances this command shall be used ?

Greetings,

Unfortunately the only admin node's DB in my network became corrupt. I have tried to reindex, which did not help, so I have followed your instructions to:

delete everything but the multichain.conf and wallet.dat
connected to an other node to replicate the data
tried to start up the local installation with the -handshakelocal=<address> parameter

The address is the main address I had on the admin node and the only with admin permission. I tried to define the parameter with and without ' ', tried to put it into the multichain.conf, but whenever I try to start the blockchain, it insists on the newly created address:

$ multichaind zolichain1 --handshakelocal=1TFvWaHMkbBUnfGyXJZgtxCmMHmqMytiPz24Lm

MultiChain Core Daemon build 1.0 alpha 18 protocol 10005

Retrieving blockchain parameters from the seed node 10.0.1.152:8347 ...

Blockchain successfully initialized.

Please ask blockchain admin or user having activate permission to let you connect and/or transact:

multichain-cli zolichain1 grant 1UscW9kQinoKp9GncpybXCMPyyZK6m8zr3S8cd connect

multichain-cli zolichain1 grant 1UscW9kQinoKp9GncpybXCMPyyZK6m8zr3S8cd connect,send,receive

What do I do wrong here?

Many thanks in advance,

Kind Regards,

Zoli
