Sending Asset To Burn Address

Question

Hello,

I'm trying to send a portion of an asset created in a node to the burn address but I get the following message and I'm not sure how to fix this because the burn address is created automatically by Multichain, right? Do I need to give it permissions? How can I do this?

> sendassettoaddress 1XXXXXXXaMXXXXXXA3XXXXXXjTXXXXXXcdwnr5 testAsset 3
{"method":"sendassettoaddress","params":["1XXXXXXXaMXXXXXXA3XXXXXXjTXXXXXXcdwnr5","testAsset",3],"id":1,"chain_name":"chain1"}

error code: -704
error message:
Destination address doesn't have receive permission

Answer 1

Yes, the burn address is created automatically by MultiChain but is not automatically given receive permissions. (This is to help prevent it being accidentally used.) An admin just needs to grant it receive permissions in the same way as any other address on the chain.
