Mixing NBitcoin.Litecoin and NBXplorer.Client in one project

[bazooka70]

There seems to be a problem mixing the two together.

If I install the package NBitcoin.Litecoin (or other alt coin created in similar matter) and NBXplorer.Client, and use:

NBitcoin.Litecoin.Networks.EnsureRegistered();
var network_ltc = NBitcoin.Litecoin.Networks.Mainnet;
....
var xnetwork_ltc = new NBXplorerNetworkProvider(ChainType.Main).GetLTC(); // <- exception

The line new NBXplorerNetworkProvider(ChainType.Main).GetLTC(); throws an exception:

System.InvalidOperationException: 'The network ltc-main is already registered'

This could be resolved by using only NBXplorer.Client in the project, e.g.

var xnetwork_ltc = new NBXplorerNetworkProvider(ChainType.Main).GetLTC();
var network_ltc = xnetwork_ltc.NBitcoinNetwork;

I wonder if this is by design?

Yes indeed they should not be used together...

I think I should do a separate package with all altcoins instead of duplicating the code in NBXplorer.Client.

[NicolasDorier]

I am closing this, I moved all altcoin related projects on https://github.com/MetacoSA/NBitcoin/tree/master/NBitcoin.Altcoins so you should use this now.

OK, thanks. so the problem I described is fixed now? (mixing NBXplorer.Client with other NBitcoin alt coins)

[NicolasDorier]

Yes, fixed once you update the packages
