Required parameters? about bitcoinlib HOT 13 CLOSED

The required parameters are already defined in the sample .config file but since you don't use one they are not available at runtime. This library is configured to look for these parameters in the .config file (as you can see here: https://github.com/GeorgeKimionis/BitcoinLib/blob/master/CoinWrapper/CoinParameters/Base/CoinParameters.cs#L24) so they can be configured at runtime only after the library has found them in the .config file. Please not that these are general-purpose parameters and not coin-specific.

The recommended way to resolve this is to use a .config file.

The quick 'n' dirty way (not recommended) is to replace the value assignments with your own values inside the private CoinParameters parameterless constructor: https://github.com/GeorgeKimionis/BitcoinLib/blob/master/CoinWrapper/CoinParameters/Base/CoinParameters.cs#L24

I would also suggest you go for a complete configuration for Dogecoin, taking the Bitcoin configuration as an example: https://github.com/GeorgeKimionis/BitcoinLib/blob/master/CoinWrapper/CoinParameters/Base/CoinParameters.cs#L39. Once you have Dogecoin's values in hand we can also add built-in support for Dogecoin in the same way we currently do for Bitcoin and Litecoin.

I see! Thank you, I'd be happy to help once I wrap my head around some of your code. I don't suppose you know where I could find the config values for Dogecoin? Is there some sort of command I can plug into dogecoind or something? (Its essentially just a Litecoin clone so Litecoin commands should work and I presume the configs will be near enough the same.) I know I don't -need- them but I'd like to include them if possible

So I fixed my problem #16

from bitcoinlib.

This is now resolved with the use of the IgnoreConfigValues parameter which must be set true upon initialization and then the 6 shared RPC config values as well as the config values for each coin (Bitcoin, Litecoin, etc) have to be defined at run-time.

Alrighty, thanks for the update!

Do not quite understand how IgnoreConfigValues works. I am unable to set it before new BitcoinService, because it is part of BitcoinService object, but new BitcoinService throws the exception if IgnoreConfigValues is not set. Vicious circle.

from bitcoinlib.

I forced to edit IgnoreConfigValues property directly in your code.

from bitcoinlib.

Here is some sample code for IgnoreConfigValues. To test it go to the demo app's app.config and remove all config values under the Bitcoin settings section, then add this to Main() and run it:

        ICoinService CoinService = new BitcoinService(useTestnet:true);
        CoinService.Parameters.IgnoreConfigValues = true;

        CoinService.Parameters.DaemonUrl = "http://localhost:8332";
        CoinService.Parameters.DaemonUrlTestnet = "http://localhost:18332";
        CoinService.Parameters.WalletPassword = "MyWalletPassword";
        CoinService.Parameters.RpcUsername = "MyRpcUsername";
        CoinService.Parameters.RpcPassword = "MyRpcPassword";

from bitcoinlib.

Let's assume I do not have app.config file. First I do IBitcoinService bitcoinService = new BitcoinService(.........). As I see internally it calls CoinService(.....). Then CoinService(.....) calls parameterless CoinService(). Then parameterless CoinService() calls new CoinParameters(this) and finally CoinParameters(....) tries to read from AppSettings and crashes. Am I correct?

from bitcoinlib.

Nice catch. With the latest commit you can choose to ignore the .config files by invoking the coin service like this:
ICoinService CoinService = new BitcoinService("http://localhost:18332", "MyRpcUsername", "MyRpcPassword", "MyWalletPassword", 60);.

This: ICoinService CoinService = new BitcoinService(useTestnet:true); will still use the .config facility.

Hey, still got the issue.
It tells, that i am missing parameters, but i am using the example appSettings section.
Also when i try to create a new BitcoinService instance with entering the parameters on the concstructor it fails with same message.

Got the package from NuGet.

from bitcoinlib.

Same issue as r00tn. I can't construct using the example from the 27th because it tells me that no constructor takes 5 parameters. Even if I use the example .config file, I still get this error.

from bitcoinlib.

it's funny that it will work if you build the solution using debug configuration instead of release.
