Topic: Masterchest Wallet Alpha Testing Thread (Read 13391 times)

Hey all,

I'm going to close this topic now in line with the foundations' desire to have forum communication over at mastercointalk.org... See you over there!

Thanks

Hey guys,

0.4 is up.  This includes SP support (display & send).

I'd like to take a moment to remind everyone that this is experimental alpha testing software and all use is at your own risk - please remember this if you're considering using it with anything other than small testing amounts.

Also, while I have you

0.4 will be the last Masterchest release of the wallet.  As of now the project is being handed over to the foundation and they will own the development and direction of future desktop wallet development.  Since I know the tendency for people to interpret differently is very prevalent in the Crypto space, I'd like to make a few things very clear as follows:

* I am not stopping development, nor am I stepping down in my role as RBB Developer for the foundation
* 0.4 is the last "Masterchest" release, but that does not mean last release period.  The foundation will of course be continuing the development of wallet software - perhaps my .NET wallet, perhaps something else.  Desktop wallet direction is a hotly discussed topic at the moment, but one thing we all agree on is a need for a consolidated direction - moving the wallet project to the foundation is a logical step in pursuit of this
* I will be continuing work on other Masterchest projects, most notably the Masterchest.info block explorer will continue to be actively developed
* I will be contributing to a consolidated wallet development effort, though not leading it, regardless of the direction chosen for development

With those points out the way (I would hate for this to be construed as negative), I just wanted to add a personal note; this project was launched as an idea, but an idea that needed software to turn it into something tangible and Masterchest was a rapid prototype to bridge that gap.  It's been a wonderful (if tiring!) journey but as we grow and evolve into something more mature, more organized and more focused the 'one-man-band' approach that is Zathras & Masterchest is of course not a long term scalable prospect (or good for the project) - but I'm extremely proud to have helped the project along in my own little way & look forward to contributing to a consolidated & shared development effort as we charge ever further ahead!

Thanks for the information!

The Masterchest Windows wallet does not yet support other tokens than Mastercoin and Test Mastercoin, but will likely very soon.

I have a question regarding how to see my Maidsafe coins. I sent 1 bitcoin from my wallet on my PC, not a web wallet, to the Maidsafe genesis block. I then downloaded the Mastercoin Wallet Alpha 0.3c Build 0025 and followed the instructions on installing it on the same PC as my bitcoin wallet. The Mastercoin wallet is working. I can send and receive both Mastercoins and Test Mastercoins. I can see that I received my Maidsafe coins on the Masterchest.info site. I also can see the fractional payment of bitcoins in my wallet that was used to send the Maidsafe Coins. However, I cannot see any Maidsafe coins in the Mastercoin wallet on my PC. The only coins listed in my Mastercoin wallet on my PC are Mastercoin, Test Mastercoin, and Bitcoin. Is the downloadable wallet capable of showing Maidsafe coins or must we use a web wallet? 

There seems to be another problem with the wallet:

My actual balance is
7.999 MSC
10 TMSC
0.10268 BTC, see
https://masterchest.info/lookupadd.aspx?address=1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU

Furthermore, I should have received a few thousand maidsafecoins, see
https://blockchain.info/address/1CHoqNqBmYgxFX3wuoJYfGw4rVAbeRWPcU

Instead, the masterchest wallet (version Alpha 0.3C Build 0025) shows:
9.37205714 MSC
11.37305714 TMSC
0.10238 BTC

So, 1.37305714 MSC / TMSC more than I actually own.
What could be the reason for this error? And why are no maidsafecoins displayed?

Thanks!

I see the same- not sure what to make of it.

also- Masterchest online shows my addressses Maidsafe coins, but the wallet on my local machine, does not. Any ideas?

Trying to cancel a sell offer at the wallet, says I don't have enough funds (got 0.013BTC in that address).

Did manage to cancel the sell offer using masterchain.info.

What could be the reason ?

Something is wrong with the total BTC amount in the sell book of the dex...

Why are there entries like:

SELL AMOUNT: 0.00000002
UNIT PRICE: 0.0799998
TOTAL: 1.999995

0.00000002 * 0.0799998 = 1.999995

Or do I get something wrong? Thanks

Recheck your bitcoin-qt setup. Ensure it's running for starters. :-) Then check your config file, and then check that you don't have any firewall preventing the RPC calls. :-)

Any idea why when I try to install Masterchest I have the following error message:
"There was a problem configuring your connection to bitcoind/qt. Both autodetection and manual configuration appear to have failed.

Will now exit."

You are the best!!

Noted. Thanks for the great idea! This is actually what bitcoin.de was doing earlier which has a similar underlying system: a point graph is used with 3 h and 12 h weighted averages.



Looks much nicer with more data points but this should be enough to give an idea.

Yes, in thinking about it- I think it's probably not possible to "buy up till" as that would require substantial logic to calculate. The distributed contracts are more like specific contracts for specific agreements. The charts makes this hard to understand.

Perhaps it would be better to not see charts and instead perhaps see some sort of point graph.

I doubt this because you need to accept and pay for specific orders and there is no "buy now at x" mechanism in Masterchest. But it's actually a nice idea.. mask the atomic transactions in the background and simply "buy".

The charting is tricky due to the same reasons. If one wants, he could create a sell order at 0.5 BTC/MSC for 0.0001 MSC and raise the bars after buying this one. I have no idea how the charts could be constructed in a way which is more transparent. Any input regarding this topic is highly appreciated!

I see- I bet that person thought he would purchase everything UP to 0.37, not only at 0.37 skipping the orders. Indeed I hope there is a way to fix that, although perhaps there isn't.

Someone bought at 0.37 skipping all other orders - https://masterchest.info/lookuptx.aspx?TXID=46886cdcff50dab670d84788d0fe7fccea21f0a90ab91a5bd910b27c001b5272

And the graphs just jumped up to 0.37.

Hope this will change..

I'm a little confused at the moment, I'm on the exchange tab, and there are sell orders for "0.00" as well as Unit prices from .0799999998 till 3, yet the charge shows a giant green bar up to .4?

Hey all,

0025 is available for download, corrects an issue where action byte is not enforced for case 0x02 where no previous sell exists (should be invalidated) and applies formula fix for rounding on purchase amounts.

Please update.

Thanks
Zathras

Hi, yep sorry about that, the previous fix on expiry was too aggressive and caused pending buys already paid to appear expired (self correcting one the payment was confirmed), that behaviour should now be fixed.

Thanks
Zathras

Here's my experience with 0.3C build 0023..

After sending the payment I get this on the history tab:



and the sell offer appears on the exchange tab again:



and after the payment gets confirmed the history tab info changes to this:



and the sell order finally disappears from the exchange tab.

That is kinda confusing for a 1st time uesr..
