[PeerAssets] pacli/pypeerasets public test round 1

##Welcome to round one of the public PA testing.

First development cycle has been completed, pypeerassets library has reached first usable version and now can handle most of basic PA protocol level functions like deck spawns and card transfers. pacli is the companion console-line client with this basic functionality implemented and presented in easy way to the user.

Install

(Linux only, Windows is not supported for now)

Requirements

  • ppcoind running in testnet mode
  • some testnet coins (post address bellow if you have none)
  • python3.4 or higher
  • python3-pip

sudo pip3 install pacli

This will automatically fetch all dependencies and install pacli as system wide command.

Run

pacli -h

see here for commands: https://github.com/PeerAssets/pacli/blob/master/README.md

If you see this kind of warning:

/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/secp256k1/__init__.py:228: UserWarning: implicit cast from 'char *' to a different pointer type: will be forbidden in the future (check that the types are as you expect; use an explicit ffi.cast() if they are correct)
self.ctx, res_compressed, outlen, self.public_key, compflag)

is just a warning, not an error. We need to wait for this to be resolved in the library we use.

Goals of this test round are:

  • test if implemented functionality of pypeerassets is working as expected
  • test if pacli client is handling the protocol logic correctly
  • gather user feedback to improve documentation
  • have bunch of CardTransfers written on the chain to test card_transfer validation logic against.

So please, spawn decks (create assets), issue/burn/transfer cards at random.
Or simply post testnet address bellow to receive some assets from issuers.

For those getting started on testnet here is a list of nodes you can add to your ppcoin.conf file.

addnode=212.83.172.152:9903
addnode=104.236.196.27:9903
addnode=138.68.10.240:9903
addnode=217.170.90.9:9903
addnode=128.199.40.99:9903
addnode=137.74.40.81:9903

Feel free to send your test assets to mk5jYdo71ifgc1PZ5hHaBz7cNFtwoRbuMr

Another way to get testnet coins if you don’t feel like waiting for anyone to send you some add
gen=1
to your ppcoin.conf file to enable cpu mining.

Tried this step of the read.me

pacli deck -search “My little pony”
search for deck called “My little pony”

pacli deck -search “hopium”
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/pacli”, line 9, in
load_entry_point(‘pacli==0.2.1’, ‘console_scripts’, ‘pacli’)()

deck_search(provider, args.search)
File “/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/pacli/main.py”, line 194, in deck_search
d = ListDecks(decks)
TypeError: init() missing 1 required positional argument: ‘decks’

Fixed, it was very simple bug.
You can update via pip now.

pip3 install --upgrade pacli
