Ask for assets

Question

Hi, it's me again.

I have two Multichain nodes in my network, one of them has 'administrator' privileges (node 1) and the other it's a simple node with connect, send and receive permissions (node 2).

Is it possible for the node 2 to ask to the node 1 for x units of a certain asset? Just being able to ask for it, whether node 1 gives those assets to node 2 is another thing.

Answer 1

Right now there is no messaging protocol in MultiChain that does not take place through the blockchain. So you would have to handle this sort of thing using a stream which any node can write to, and to which node 1 is subscribed.
