He is talking about the wallet software, not the website Smiley
Actually that helped quite a bit, step by step like that does help me quite a bit so just going to read over that now. But only able to execute this through Bitcoin-QT? What does QT have over other wallets, like Multibit?

Test Mastercoins are not the same as Mastercoins, they are a separate currency meant for testing. At this moment there is still some discussion on how to interpret the spec which makes sending real transasctions tricky since things might still change.

You can sign a transaction but unless you send it nothing will happen. If you send the transaction but don't send the coins your offer will expire based on the time set out in the original selling offer.

so "test mastercoin" is not the same thing as mastercoin right?

Also is there any problem with signing the transaction and not sending it? (I suppose not)

What happens if I sign + send the raw transaction, but not send the bitcoins?

just asking questions to understand how things work.

I tried to realize to first transaction. I can see the transaction it generates but when I try to sign it I get a

"complete" : false


As a note to the people who may run into the same problem in the future.

Once the blockchain download was complete, I could sign. So apparently, this was happening because I tried to sign before downloading the blockchain completely. It was probably checking for the balance on the bitcoin address. This wasn't obvious for me as I was acting under the assumption that I didn't need the blockchain to sign something.

I feel like an absolute dunce right now. I am not a programmer/developer so for me to get this far I was quite proud of my self (had to go through and re install qt through the pull request you posted tach. But now that I have everything installed, where do I go to actually open the program.......  Embarrassed

Trying to understand how it works...

so I have two questions:

1) is this supposed to work?

http://mastercoin-explorer.com/order_books

I tried to realize to first transaction. I can see the transaction it generates but when I try to sign it I get a

"complete" : false

And yes I unlocked my wallet. I wonder if I am doing something wrong or maybe it is not functional yet.


I already successfully used it, so yes it should work. Try using decoderawtransaction and check if you do in fact own the input it's using. Or feel free to paste the decoded transaction if you don't know how to read it and I will take a look at it.

2) Another question is when I use the api:

http://mastercoin-explorer.com/api/v1/selling_offers.json

and parse it with python. I see that there are more orders than that are visible on the web interface. What are they? Are they invalid orders or filled orders or something? Currently I can't run the ruby interface so maybe it would have been clear if I did.

thanks,

These are all the selling offers. I only display the latest one per address that are not all used up on the website.

Found it, should be fixed.

I'm writing a test-suite and updating my validation rules at the same time. I did not make an exception for Exodus transactions yet and they fail my verification rules... I'm not censoring sorry for giving that impression Smiley

Great, looks much better now!

Hmm no, that's weird. It checks my database for all transactions it saw and collects those addresses. I had some problems over the last few days I'm guessing somehow my db might have lost data. Do you have some specifics addresses I can test to see why there are missing?

The most obvious one is what I think must be J.R.'s address, holding the largest chunk of Mastercoins:

A question about the "Top 50" list at Mastercoin-explorer:
http://mastercoin-explorer.com/addresses

It seems some addresses are excluded, why is that? Privacy reasons?

No it has nothing to do with you, or Mastercoin in general. Mastercoin-explorer uses a alternative Bitcoin implementation in ruby to parse the blockchain. There is a problem parsing one of the transactions after block 268560 and it's stuck here. I will need to see if I can patch Bitcoin-ruby this will solve the issues.

Well its been over 30 minutes since my 3 tx's were confirmed on the block chain for the latest purchase offer I tried to create and I still don't see it in the wallet - is it this tx?

I'm attempting to buy 0.227 Test MSC from 1EdAjiApS5cCpHdH4RKPMab1xmMVRWjLvk again using 16rAwebBXhJAM9ALf3fLFbaHKz24r2o3UN

Ok I took a look at your transaction and it's not being accepted because you did not send enough funds. This is a rounding error on Mastercoin-explorer and I will fix this shortly, when I do your transaction should be valid Smiley

Edit: This is now fixed. Thanks for the report!

That explains it.  Yes, shows correctly now. Thx!  I'm trying another purchase offer now but its taking awhile to show up..will send you the tx for that if it fails to appear.

Also, found a typo.  When entering a mastercoin address for simple send or purchase offer etc, there is a "c" missing from the mastercoin label (masteroin).

Lastly, in case anyone else is eager to try the wallet, I was able to install it fairly easily on Ubuntu 13.04.  One catch was getting qtbindings to install.  For those unaware, like myself, I learned you must install the development package of ruby (sudo apt-get install ruby1.9-dev) because the base package on ubuntu does not include mkmf.  oh, and one other nitpicky thing, when launching the first time in ubuntu and you enter your password and private key.  Entering the private key correctly displays the corresponding address however, it is partially covered up by the "Done" button.  Can't recall if this was also an issue in OS X, and again, these are minor things, at least to me.

I just discovered there is a transaction in the blockchain that fails to be parsed by bitcoin-ruby, right now Mastercoin-explorer is stuck at 268560. I'm trying to fix this at the moment. I think it will show up if I can fix it. Will take up the other things Smiley
