If you cannot use the Bitshares Client...

Unfortunately I am running windows on my home pc (where my wallet currently is running).  However, if trust is an issue, they can know that if I screw them over they can always come on the Mumble server and call me out :)

However, if there is a better way to do this using the windows client I am more than willing to help.  We really need to try to protect everyone here.

Thats a bad idea because it involves trust (I do trust you.. but in general this system should be trustless!!!)

but you can differently ..

- create a privkey using the bts_create_key (need to compile by hand using cmake/make thought, its located in 'utils' directory .. maybe the devs can offer a windows console version)
- Output looks like

Code Select Expand


public key: BTSX8Q5oZNHf84W7JGfPyexKEpLM9JCdApr6R8HznPRk596Xwe4WtR
private key: 85778841008c36af30f36ae6c0cb961cbfa4337e205d61c5456b231be208b35b
private key WIF format: 5Jq4pDeYcoo6iRNaEWExG7wDZrbbNWvPXWw2zksr52WVLNWu9zz
bts address: BTSX34Cqn9d8xVigJaqwigazEKJFwDKeQd2wV
pts address: Pg8G48shquCFGCxfT3ssXBUwi2a8FVJXE8

KEEP the WIF Format privkey !!!! starting with 5.....

- Then ask any member that does not want to steal your name to register the name with pub key "BTSX...................."

- That member can add that account locally

wallet_add_contact_account YOURNAME BTSX...............

- and register it for you (plus paying for it)
wallet_account_register YOURNAME ipayforyou

done
