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.

cheers Chris

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.

A clarification on using "reserve asset"

If you perform this action and burn your UIA taking it out of circulation, can you then re-issue it later?  Or does it just mean that  your maximum supply has dropped by the burned amount. 

Example:

ABC token has max supply of 500,000.  I burn 100,000.  Can I re-issue the 100,000 burned or does my ABC token effectively now have a max suppy of 400,000

Thanks

Can't you just use help on the cli?

That is a good idea!

I was hoping for something a little easier to use/navigate.  Something like the NXT API wiki would be extremely helpful, https://wiki.nxtcrypto.org/wiki/The_Nxt_API

Where can I find a function list for the Bitshares platform?  I am trying to use Xeroc's python library and that does a great job managing connection and RPC calls but it assumes you already know the function calls and their parameters.  Some of the examples I've found are outdated with functions that do not exist anymore.  Others have some functions, but with out a complete list of available function calls, I can't fully see how much I can do.

Thanks

blocks that are accepted by the non-delayed node have been accepted at least once.
The delyed only returns blocks when they are irreversible (confirmed by ~2/3 of all witnesses) .. The delay is usually about 30 blocks which is 90 seconds.

I wanted to do some development against Bitshares and have tried running a delayed node.  It looks like it keeps its own blockchain and uses a reasonable amount of memory and cpu resources.  As a developer, couldn't I just use the witness node and only take action against blocks with at least 30 confirmations?  If so, that would save me HDD, memory, and cpu resources. 

What is the purpose of the Delayed Node? 

I was hoping to develop using this library on a Windows machine.  The pip and manual compile fails with the scrypt part because it is missing unistd.h file.  As I understand it, this is a unix file that will not exist on windows machine.  Any ideas on who I can get past this?
