[Volta] Validator can't change the payout address

[danzipie]

I tried to change the payout address of a Volta validator.

Steps:

• build this Docker: https://github.com/energywebfoundation/ewc-validator-node-install-scripts/tree/dev/utils/change_payout_address docker build -t payout .
• cd to 'docker-stack' folder of the Validator instance
• run the docker in the Validator instance: docker run \ --network="host" \ -v $PWD/chain-data/keys/Volta/:/docker-stack/chain-data/keys/Volta:ro \ -v $PWD/.secret:/docker-stack/.secret:ro \ -t payout \ --payoutAddress 0x94A57BbAF10A306a0759aE0A2233f16f7C1C1AE3
• The transaction is successfully mined.

Expected behaviour The reward goes to the payout address

Observed behaviour The reward is still going to the previous address.

I don't know if the problem is with my script or with the system contract.

The problem was in my script. This fixes and closes the issue: https://github.com/energywebfoundation/ewc-validator-node-install-scripts/commit/50f306b4ea2890bdfaaf50fc424fa4e671df7ec8

Successfully tested on Volta chain.
