Bug when trying to run on custom coind

[francismitchell]

I am trying to run the altcointipbot on 'Gabencoin'. However, whenever I run it I come across this error:

DEBUG:bitcoin:Starting "walletpassphrase" JSON-RPC request
ERROR:bitcoin:500 (Internal Server Error) response from bitcoind

I think it may be pifkoin trying to load up the default configuration for a bitcoind, however I am running gabencoind with different rpc settings. Is there a way to fix this?

Hey there, sounds like you don't have the correct wallet passphrase configured in conf/coins.yml. The bot reads and uses that configuration file to communicate with the coin daemon.

[francismitchell]

There definitely is an entry under 'walletpassphrase'. Also, when the bot is starting, it spews out some information about successfully connecting to Gabencoin.

[dvinograd]

Could you post the contents of your conf/coins.yml, without any sensitive information (such as passwords) - replace it with "***", for example?

[francismitchell]

Here is a screenshot of my coins.yml

Your config looks correct. I still suspect there might be an issue with the password. So, try enclosing wallet password in single or double quotes, changing wallet password, etc.

By the way, the error below doesn't mean the bot is talking to Bitcoin daemon (pifkoin library calls every daemon "bitcoind"). You can verify this by shutting down Bitcoind on your system (if you have one running) and then running the bot.

None of these methods work. Removing the quotation marks gives me the same error, and when I change the password I still get the same error. I have completely re installed, deleted the database, but still, no joy.

[dvinograd]

Hmm, I'm all out of ideas. Because it works for everyone else, there must be something different about your setup, but I can't guess what it could be. What does cat ~/.gabencoin/gabencoin.conf return?

[francismitchell]

As expected, it returns the contents of my coind:

rpcuser=myrpcuser
rpcpassword=myrpcpassword
server=1
rpcport=56883
daemon=1

Of course, rpcuser and rpcpassword are different values. One other thing - I am connected to my wallet via stratum and MPOS as I am running a pool on the same server as the coin daemon. Could this be a problem? EDIT: I don't think this is the problem - I still get the same error when stratum is not running.

[vindimy]

So, the bot must be reading some other configuration and talking to the wrong coin daemon. In your coins.yml, do you have more than one section that starts with gbn: (the line before enabled: true)? I can think of that causing the bot to read wrong config.

[francismitchell]

I am pretty sure it is reading the configuration, because when I start the program it outputs data about successfully connecting to the coind.

Closing as "can't figure out the issue".
