//EDIT: got it, it's due to wrong starting parameters.

Another "5J" problem.. Can't start my witness even though it's voted in

After I finally got it right it hung for five to ten minutes.

[betax]

How long does it take to sync ? Just in case I am still doing something wrong

[puppies]

Is there a way to withdraw witness pay yet?

Also I know it's not a big deal but I was going that our bts id's would transfer over to 2.0.  For example I'm kinda proud of the fact that dele-puppy is account number 1193 in bts.  Just as a status symbol that it's an old account.

[betax]

Thanks, I was wondering what was that parameter.. and why it was not loading from config.

This is my final version, which parses correctly the private key, I have removed the -d test-net as per puppies recommendation.

Code: [Select]

./witness_node --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"  --genesis-json aug-14-test-genesis.json -s 104.200.28.117:61705 --witness-id '"1.6.5155"' --private-key '["GP...................................oy", "5KW.......................P8a"]'

Edit:
I edited the wiki, to fix the parameter issues. Mainly you need to wrap strings that required double quotes, with single quotes.

[puppies]

Well next issue my key / private are not loading, they are different ones from the config, and getting a parsing error as parameters

It took me awhile to realize that the -d test_net I'm bytemasters instructions was the data directory.  I was modifying the wrong config.ini.  that might be your issue.

[betax]

Code: [Select]

./witness_node --rpc-endpoint "127.0.0.1:8090"  --genesis-json aug-14-test-genesis.json -d test_net -s 104.200.28.117:61705 --enable-stale-production -w '"1.6.5155"' I have my key, private key in the config.ini

[clayop]

I guess that array parameters have been a new addition and xeroc has not been able to catch up on his document.

Great! Can you write down an example (EXCEPT your private key) for dummies like me?

[betax]

It might be a recent transaction that wasn't on the snapshot.

Edit: Just noticed you said all the 5Js so it is a pattern... Ill check when my witness finish synching loading, and see if I have a 5j to test.

//EDIT: solved. my fault again. copy & paste but lost one character..

I met a problem while importing balance (the real keys replaced by *** ):

Code: [Select]

import_balance in.abit [5K58****dGSz,5KSE****EHJd,5HuJ****uzj7,5KPR****zmq8,5KUn****kzno,5Jtc****D4R4,5Jus****EpCH,5JNv****KfWz] true
10 assert_exception: Assert Exception
priv_key: Invalid Private Key
    {"key":"5Jtc****D4R4"}
    th_a  wallet.cpp:2710 import_balance

    {"name_or_id":"in.abit"}
    th_a  wallet.cpp:2757 import_balance
It works if I remove that key from the array. It also work if I import that key alone.
Any thoughts?

[betax]

I guess that array parameters have been a new addition and xeroc has not been able to catch up on his document.

[betax]

I have found the issue, you  both were right. It needs to be changed on the wiki too.

From the github main page, this is the right format.

Code: [Select]

./witness_node --rpc-endpoint 127.0.0.1:8090 --enable-stale-production -w '"1.6.0"' '"1.6.1"' '"1.6.2"' '"1.6.3"' '"1.6.4"' '"1.6.5"' '"1.6.6"' '"1.6.7"' '"1.6.8"' '"1.6.9"'

It needs to be wrapped in single quotes and double quotes, so when parsing is not treated as a number.

[puppies]

Thanks clayop.. your brackets on the other post hinted the answer. Xeroc don't worry your instructions are really good.

Another problem, now when I try to start the witness, I get a decimal parse error for --witness-id "1.6.5155"

I had the same errors.  I ended up fixing it by changing test_net/config.in I to

Code: [Select]

# ID of witness controlled by this node (e.g. "1.6.0", quotes are required, may specify multiple times)
witness-id = "1.6.1435"

# Tuple of [PublicKey, WIF private key] (may specify multiple times)
private-key = ["GPHxxxxxxxxxx", "privatexxxxxxx"]

Maybe a minor bug. I resolved the same problem by using cookbook

Code: [Select]

--witness-id \""1.6.xxxx"\
If it does not work, change quote marks in the private key section together.
