Issue with multichaind -initprivkey=<privkey> chain1@<seed-ip> -daemon

Question

When trying to create a fresh installed multichain node and using the initprivkey to perform a first time connecting to a seed node using a pre-existing key, the service will start successfully. But is unable to be connected into using multichain-cli. The only way to fix this is to kill the multichaind process and restart the daemon using the same command. Are there any settings that could cause this problem?

Answer 1

I don't see any problem. This is what I did:

On the seed node:

createkeypairs

    {
        "address" : "1...",
        "privkey" : "V..."

    }

grant 1... connect,send,receive

On the new node:

multichaind chain@seed-ip:port -initprivkey=V...

multichain-cli chain getinfo

{

...

}

Is this what you are doing? Are you using multichain.conf?

You are right. If I were to run this on separate machines, it works as you have described. I have been running the second node in a docker container connecting to a seed node in another docker container. I guess this is probably a container related issue.
