:IF: Announcing - MutAnt: Mutable Key/Value storage (prev: Anthill)

[Champii]

mmh the secret key is normally read from the ant client’s wallet in .local/share/autonomi/client/wallets/0xMY_PUBLIC_KEY
That file contains the private key I use with Mutant.
Try to import it via ant wallet import YOUR_KEY ?

@Champii

cargo install mutant --locked

I have $SECRET_KEY already set and ant wallet balance gives me the correct output

[happybeing]

That’s not a valid key - it’s supposed to be the secret key of a wallet!

[Champii]

Yeah it looks funny to me too, for example the testnet private key looks like this

Do you want to switch to DM so that I can investigate this with you ?

Now do you take sugar in that coffee?

[Southside]

Let me get a coffee and I’ll be right with you

C0FFEEBABEFACE was an address I was shown several decades ago to help test a Novell Netware install.

If I mind right it used co-ax and 10base-2 connectors?
Did anyone else have weird desk sculptures made of 10base-2 adapters?
Looked like early versions of Transformers

[Champii]

I don’t know any of those words

On the support desk we make no assumptions about what users won’t do and that error is exactly what I’d expect if that was the key you had set so

[Southside]

@rusty.spork somebody here claiming to be “support desk”

Immediate permaban, please.

Yes that works but then

So $SECRET_KEY is set OK

If anybody else get this problem, you need to delete your ~/.config/mutant/config.json
