Title: PYBITSHARES - Unlock Wallet - issue
Post by: ccreg on February 04, 2018, 03:46:07 pm

Hi,

I would like to implement a trading bot...
I start to analyze different kind of solution (stakemachine, bitshare api cli_wallet,...) I have finally decided to study PYBITSHARES approach.

I succeeded to run some simple snippet based on Account class (on linux installation):

Code: [Select]

from bitshares import BitShares
import os
from bitshares.account import Account
account = Account("crypto-r")
print(account)
print(account.balances)

But I'm getting an issue when I run the following code to unlock mywallet:

Code: [Select]

from bitshares import BitShares

bitshares = BitShares(
            "wss://node.testnet.bitshares.eu",
                nobroadcast=False   # <<--- set this to False when you want to fire!
                )
#bitshares.wallet.create("myAccount")
bitshares.wallet.unlock("PASSPHRASE")
bitshares.wallet.addPrivateKey("5K.....U")

The code return the following error message:

Code: [Select]

    bitshares.wallet.unlock("PASSPHRASE")
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/bitshares-0.1.10-py3.6.egg/bitshares/wallet.py", line 115, in unlock
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/bitshares-0.1.10-py3.6.egg/bitshares/storage.py", line 395, in __init__
  File "/root/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/bitshares-0.1.10-py3.6.egg/bitshares/storage.py", line 407, in decryptEncryptedMaster
bitshares.exceptions.WrongMasterPasswordException

I'm sure I'm missing something "simple" but I m blocking on it for few hours... I coded it differently a lot of time on testnet and/or production node...

here is my question:
(http://umanit.be/bts.png)

Does someone can help me to unlock my Wallet using PYBITSHARES?
My problem is to identify exactly which password or private key or WIF or ... I have to used as parameter to unlock function.
I'm using ubuntu 17.10.


Thanks,

The password asked for when unlocking the wallet is independent of the account password. It is used to locally encrypt a wallet that contains all your keys and you chose it when you first created your wallet in!! python-bitshares!!

If you forgot the passphrase, have a backup of all your keys and want to start over, then delete the .local/shares/bitshares folder in your homedirectory

Ok sorry I got it !  :D
Crazy day,  I wondered so many concept! it's more clear ! Probably a little schema in the documentation could help noob (as I'm in bitshares/python).

I deleted the folder in my homedir and created a new wallet in python-bitshare!
Unlock work perfectly!
Happy to continue !

Many Thanks!
