Technical Support / Re: How to Stop Trading an Asset
« on: March 24, 2017, 05:40:56 pm »I would like to de-activate an asset. I updated the asset to turn on the flags requiring whitelist, issuer approve transfers, and transfer back to issuer.
The problem is that I don't know how to enforce or use these options. So far, trading continues despite me as issuer having to approve the transfers. I also have a blank white list which would theoretically prevent from trading.
I also can't find a mechanism in the UI to transfer the asset back to myself.
I looked for something in docs but haven't found an API call or anything to do this.
Help!
Hi Warmach,
did you active the Flag or the Permission? Flags are temporary, Permission finals.
Whitelisting features need to be activated first with the CLI-wallet and then you can add more people to the white list over the gui.
Asset override feature is only available via cli-wallet. But keep in mind that this transaction type is more expensive.

Thanks Chris!
I did find what I was looking for. I stumbled across a post from Xeroc with a reference to an example python script using his graphene python library. Using several of his examples from the 0.4.8 version, I was able to halt trading by turning on the flags and establishing a whitelist authority. I was then able to use his script to run the override transfer command to issue the asset back to myself.
There are several great examples in there, might be worth checking out. Some just use a witness, others use the cli-wallet.
