Sorry sschiessl
I am finding my way around bitshares and have a fulltime job and young kids as well so couldn't get back straight away.
Where can I add the chain-id in the bitshares_ui code?
I have looked in the code and deoxygen documentation. You mention Added chainid to ChainConfig ws-js can you point me to where the ChainConfig is for the bitshares_ui ?
I will keep looking but many thanks for any links or insights.
I am mainly a SQL programmer and basic knowledge of js
Regards John

I think the source is fine .. I can use "npm start" to get a web wallet and it can connect to the eu testnet with a cloud login and I can send "test" to others etc also I ran "npm run build" to get a dist that works on a external linux server on the internet to connect to testnet as well as mainnet.

There are no errors ( a few warnings is all ) BUT for my testnet I dont have permission to send or do any actons that are not read only, but only via bitshares_ui not cli_wallet. So I am thinking its either they are using different authentication or API OR my "local wallet" which I "restored" via a brainkey and imported my private key is missing some key or other permission.
How can I log errors from the bitshares_ui in case that is the issue?
I have not tried to build a faucet which I presume is needed for a cloud wallet.
Can I do a cloud login with my account name and private key as the password?

Many thanks for any help - John

I use Putty to connect and interact with the virtualbox vm and log that interaction.
Here is the startup. I have also added the config.ini file contents at the end ( without most private keys ).
Should I enable logging via config.ini, there is a logging.ini file and I left it at defaults since its noted # Logging configuration is loaded from logging.ini by default.??
The rpc.log.20201215T210000 is 0 bytes .. empty?

I have a VM with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and downloaded https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-core built it as per instructions and witness_node is running.
The witness_node starts with
./witness_node --data-dir=data-bts/myblocktestnet  --genesis-json=genesis/my-genesis.json --enable-stale-production --seed-nodes "[]"
and is running properly
The Cli_wallet starts with
./cli_wallet --wallet-file my-wallet.json --chain-id c3807ea4b7d28da76249c6be53dc6342a12888327aab9d66ac1d53e31e797ae3 --server-rpc-endpoint ws://0.0.0.0:8090 -u '' -p ''

as the config file in the data-bts/myblocktestnet has the rpc as
# Endpoint for websocket RPC to listen on
rpc-endpoint = 0.0.0.0:8090

I note that the line for API is still commented out as I chose to rely on defaults
# JSON file specifying API permissions
# api-access =

and I have made users and sent "test" assets to them successfully
"info command in cli_wallet shows the following

However the  bitshares-ui which I built also from latest github code connects once I populate "settings" / "nodes" / "personal"
with ws://localhost:8090 in the firefox browser within the VM
However "send" and permissions are "greyed out" and I cannot seem to do anything but have readonly "database_api" access.
This is the case whether in a VM browser like firefox on Ubuntu or my Windows host accessing the VM ip address via the VM bridged network .. which also allows connections but active buttons greyed out.

I have not built a faucet so logins are via saved BIN wallet files generated via brainkeys made from the suggest_brain_key cli_wallet feature

So I cant use the bitshares-ui with my testnet and am wondering if its because of using local login via a brainkey restored wallet OR that I need a API referenced file in config.ini with something like
{
   "permission_map" :
   [
     
      [
         "*",
         {
            "password_hash_b64" : "*",
            "password_salt_b64" : "*",
            "allowed_apis" : ["database_api", "network_broadcast_api", "history_api"]
         }
      ]
   ]
}


Any help would be greatly appreciated for which direction to take and perhaps any steps required.

Hello all
I should say that I did try to create and open a wallet with the info from http://docs.pybitshares.com/en/latest/wallet.html below but it comes back with ValueError: You need to provide an account

Could someone who knows the pybitshares library please post a script that shows how to open a  wallet and currently existing account on the testnet and prepares Python for the other actions in the tutorials like selling etc please.
I am trying to get my head around Python and the Library but I seem to be hitting catch 22's a lot.

Many thanks for any help
Regards John

A new wallet can be created by using:
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("AAB-12345")


The wallet can be unlocked for signing using:
from bitshares import BitShares
bitshares = BitShares()
bitshares.wallet.unlock("AAB-12345")

from bitshares.account import Account
account = Account("AAB-12345")
print(account)
print(account.balances)

Hello All from a newbie
As per a suggestion from Xeroc to use pybitshares for Bot type functions ( since I couldn't get stakemachine permisions eror solved : see https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23939.msg304190.html#msg304190  ) I have started trying out the scripts in http://docs.pybitshares.com/en/latest/tutorials.html to see what can be done there.
In particular after installing as per the intro I tried the Simple Sell script modified for the testnet account "AAB-12345" .
but get bitshares.exceptions.NoWalletException .
I have looked at the pybitshares documentation but its not clear how to specify what wallet is being used?
That is how do you get Python to access a particular wallet on a Ubuntu VM that I am testing on?
Thanks for any help
Cheers John

Hello All
Looking at the last post I should clarify ... I tried running with my test account on the public testnet wss://node.testnet.bitshares.eu as well as the "test" witness node I set up  for myself witness_url: "ws://104.196.5.69:8090".
With my "test" witness I used as test accounts "makerwall" (a new account created for testing stakemachine) and the "nathan" account that is used during the "make your own witness" walkthrough.
Both had their accounts added to active and owner permissions via the webwallet with plenty of assets and lifetime membership.
If I changed the WIF key entry in the config.yml file from the key in the "active permissions" to the one from "owner permissions" I get the return error wifNotActive so I am confident I used the correct WIF ( active permissions )
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/graphenelib-0.4.4-py3.4.egg/grapheneexchange/exchange.py", line 218, in __init__
grapheneexchange.exchange.WifNotActive

Should I be using the cli-wallet command line program to set up these test accounts instead of the web wallet or light wallet?
I wouldn't think that would make a difference and both makerwall and nathan can trade on my "test" witness node manually and an account aab-12345 on the public testnet so I am not sure what permissions are required here.

Regards and thanks again for any assistance ... John

When you say you coded the bot yourself .. did you use Xeroc's  "pybitshares" as in his earlier reply to the stakemachine topic in the Technical Support & Feedback forum section ?  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23939.msg304085.html#msg304085

It looks like there are a few Bot discussions going on at the present time.
While starting to get in Python and liking the look of pybitshares for interfacing I am not keen to reinvent the wheel especially if its designed by someone who can do it better than a newbie :-)

Interested to know if anyone is using stakemachine currently or another bot for real trades on Bitshares or Openledger Blockchain.

Cheers John

Wow had a look at http://docs.pybitshares.com/en/latest/ ... Looks very extensive .. I will definitely give it a try long term .. but meanwhile stakemachine seems to be working but am getting an authorisation error.
I am not sure what authorisation its looking for since I made an account for it and gave it owner and active permissions for the bot. I turned off "safe mode" and the account "makerwall" has 10000 BTS and 10000 BTC in its account. This all may be wrong and it may just use "nathan" as thats the account and key in the config.yml file but when I originaly got the "missing required active authority" message I just tried adding permissions to the account.
I used accounts "nathan" "id":"1.2.17" and also added permissions for "makerwall" "id":""1.2.21"

I am thinking this is a permissions problem with my account setup but I cant really see where?
Just learning one step at a time so any help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers John

OOPs forgot to say I will try python-graphenelib **BELOW** 0.5.0 and see what happens then.
I will use the latest github clone and leave the code as is with the above Library.
If its still failing I will experiment with judiciously changing a little code ( blindfolded perhaps :-) one line or character at a time.

Cheers John

Many Thank Xeroc .. and Permie
I did notice the recent work by Alt on  https://btsbots.com/  and it looks good but with a quick runthrough for my immediate testing and future trading  stakemachine seems to give finer control BUT you need to know what Python is doing :-\
That said I did a quick look for python videos on youtube using search terms "python tutes bitshares"  and the first 3 were [BitShares] Python Live Coding Parts I , 2 and 3 then some 56 videos on Python 3.4 Programming Tutorials.

I have gone through Parts 1 and 2 and will look at 3 later today after working on SQL stuff I need to do for my day job but the very fact that there are 56  Python 3.4 Programming Tutorials from thenewboston56 shows its got a lot of bells and whistles ... probably much more than I can handle.

I am glad I stumbled on the Bitshares Python ones as they are a good runthrough on Bitshares as well as Python.

Many Thanks again
Regards John

Ok although I don't know Python I assumed the error  on line 255 was the colon .. but then how it could have worked for others I have no idea .. ( if that is the case ) so nothing ventured I removed the colon and reinstalled the package.
Now I get a error on line 221 BUT it seems to be running the bot MakerWall2 which is perhaps more than it was.

I will look at the github issues section for stakemachine and see if I am missing anything .. but any help here is greatly appreciated .. I am a DBA not a Python person .. Zero experience in it.

Regards John

Hello .. trying out the trading bot stakemachine by Xeroc ( many thanks for the work put in there ) I have it installed but when running against a test node ( before trying it out on the real exchange ) it fails at one line.

Welcome. I work on the web wallet (bitshares-ui), I just use Atom with various plug ins that make my life easier. Not sure what the c coders use.

Many Thanks svk31... I have heard of Atom although I haven't used it before .. but I am here to try new things so I will set up Atom and kick the tyres.  I have read a lot of doco and I noticed Vagrant was mentioned which I have used before and find really good for Dev work.
I have gone through most of the Dev and integration guides on the official doco page and its all very detailed ( but didn't notice any mention of recomended dev platform )  but I have built a VM testnet  which was relatively straightforward.

I will play around with Atom and continue going through the doco and examples.
Cheers John

Hello All
I am basically a DBA and code SQL but know others (javascript C++ etc). I have been intrigued with the Blockchain for a while and have decided to bite the bullet and learn more. What dev environment is commonly used or recommended among bitshares developers.
I am assuming Eclipse would be up there but is there any documentation on a prefered setup for developing / exploring the system?

I am currently just touching the surface but hope to be around for  the long term so any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers John
