It works on one node but not the other.

Thanks. That does indeed look like a problem. Can you please post the output of getblockchainparams and getinfo? Unless we can see any obvious cause there we may have to ask for a copy of the chain to debug this.

Answer 1

Thanks, I think we understand the problem. There's an issue in protocol version 10007 where the consensus thresholds (admin-consensus-activate and admin-consensus-admin) are applied to per-stream activate and admin permissions as well, even though they don't make sense there. This is fixed in protocol version 10008, implemented in alpha 29 or later. You'll need to start a new chain to use this.

Thanks, I reckoned so. Node1 was running on alpha 28 but Node2 was running beta 1. That is why it worked on Node1 but not Node2. Good thing I was running different versions. I upgraded Node1 and it is now able to generate the correct permission for new streams.

Great - thanks for the update.
