Getting Invalid Address when looking up bcash address or legacy

[haydencarlson]

Got my node syncing now, I noticed that when I try to make a request to [insight_host_url]/api/addr/bitcoincash:qzq2myx5qdvplgalgcyx4ydjm82pyhdkcyga74fzrw for example I'm getting an Invalid address. Code:-5

My bitcoin.conf

server=1
whitelist=127.0.0.1
txindex=1
addressindex=1
timestampindex=1
spentindex=1
zmqpubrawtx=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
zmqpubhashblock=tcp://127.0.0.1:28332
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=bitcoin
rpcpassword=local321
uacomment=bitcore
usecashaddr=0

Then when trying to use the same url to look up the legacy address equivalent I get

Invalid address: Address has mismatched network type.. Code:1

bitcore-node.json

      }
    }
  }
}

So I can't seem to be able to reproduce your problem, on my end, when I query the same API endpoint I get the following:

curl -s [insight_host_url]/api/addr/bitcoincash:qzq2myx5qdvplgalgcyx4ydjm82pyhdkcyga74fzrw | json_pp 
{
   "transactions" : [],
   "balanceSat" : 0,
   "totalSentSat" : 0,
   "totalReceivedSat" : 0,
   "unconfirmedBalance" : 0,
   "balance" : 0,
   "addrStr" : "bitcoincash:qzq2myx5qdvplgalgcyx4ydjm82pyhdkcyga74fzrw",
   "unconfirmedBalanceSat" : 0,
   "txApperances" : 0,
   "totalSent" : 0,
   "totalReceived" : 0,
   "unconfirmedTxApperances" : 0
}

My node is not fully synced on mainnet, that's why the values are 0 I believe, I have heavily tested the api on regtest and it seems to work fine with BCH addresses.

So can you confirm that you're using the right insight-api?

My node isn't fully synced yet. I followed this https://github.com/osagga/bch-bitcore-setup/blob/master/README.md exactly.

That's weird, what do you get when you try the tx api? What address format do you get back?

@osagga Which node repo are you using?

[osagga]

@haydencarlson So I'm using the bitcore node from npm (just as shown in the guide), it matches bitcore-node: 3.1.3 from the Github repo. As for bitcoin-abc, you need to build the custom one from source. I also have this repo with pre-compiled bitcoin-abc binaries that I built for myself. You can give it a try, but building from source is safer.

[osagga]

@haydencarlson I was able to reproduce the problem on Ubuntu, I'll keep you updated if I fix it. I have been testing the API on CentOS, and it seems to work fine. Let me know if you can identify where the error is thrown from.

[haydencarlson]

@osagga Ok cool, I'll check it out today. I am on ubuntu so it must be ubuntu specific.

The machine is running Ubuntu 18.04

[haydencarlson]

@osagga I ended up using CentOS aswell. It works fine on CentOS like you said.
