Ah! I get it now. It doesnât know about the ant client. Didnât bother reading the Windows instructions because Iâm on Linux! And didnât bother reading anything else either (because Iâm a cowboy on Linux). So I just set the variable with:-
Itâs amazing! This is the best thing done with the network ever. Fact. An entirely new social platform birthed on a brand new network. Let that sink in for a minute. Atlas lifted the world on his shoulders and Josh has lifted up Atlas.
I wouldnât expect any of those to help. The interesting messages are everything about Scratchpads up to the point you mentioned.
Itâs complaining that is trying to create one that already exists. So I wondered if restarting would load it and not try to create it.
The other place to look and report back is what shows in the browser console (Ctrl-Shift-J and select the console before reloading). Report the errors - some are expected - and again report anything to do with Scratchpads.
The logic should be similar to ScratchChat but I canât look into this as I have a laptop to resurrect first and lots of tasks not getting worked on lately, so you may have to wait until someone can look at the logic and figure out from your reports whatâs gone wrong.
Thanks for persevering - all this user experienced pain helps us Devs, but we donât do it deliberately do we @Josh? ⌠@Josh?
Thanks. Yes, uploading was good today (yesterday I had issues with gas prices being too high). Unfortunately Atlas has broken for me though.
Errors and details that may or may not be useful
It may not be relevant, but it seemed to have broken since I used the same wallet I loaded into Dweb with ANT client in order to upload. The wallet in ANT had a password, and now Dweb is asking for the password despite being given the private key⌠so not sure whatâs happening there as I didnât previously set a password in Dweb.
Only errors from the browser console are:
(index):4209 Could not count vote from Josh - voteKey: (keys)
ObjectMultiplex - orphaned data for stream âmetamask-providerâ
ObjectMultiplex - orphaned data for stream âpublicConfigâ
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED :44119/ant-0/scratchpad-private:1
In case itâs relevant, when loading Dweb I also saw this message:
Os { code: 10048, kind: AddrInUse, message: "Only one usage of each socket address (protocol/network address/port) is normally permitted." } (I may have accidentally been running 2 instances of Dweb?)
Edit: I got it working again one time, but now not working again.
Looking forward to trying it again at some point when I can figure out how to use it without messing it up!
Edit 2: I didnât know you need to set the private key between restarts & wrongly assumed it was a one-off thing⌠hopefully signing with external wallets will be possible soon, because pasting in a private key seems far less than ideal!
I donât understand why youâd get this error even if you were using different keys.
Each key acts like an identity as well as providing dweb/Atlas with funds to create the Scratchpads.
If you switched key, it would just try to create a new Scratchpad, and assuming there were funds succeed.
The error youâre getting was that the Scratchpad exists, so nothing to do with supplying a different key.
You do need to ensure that dweb/Atlas have access to the key every time you run dweb - because this is how they know which Scratchpad is yours, and what gives them permission to write to it⌠and dweb will ask for a password if you have one set for your ant-cli wallet.
Youâre doing a great job here but we havenât got to the bottom of that error yet.
Itâs the same key, just one was provided directly to Dweb, which worked.
The same key, presumably from the ant-cli wallet (as it asks for password) doesnât seem to work⌠well, it did once, but hasnât worked in general.
If you want me to try anything else to help pinpoint the issue Iâm willing to do so.
Was nice to see it up and running again once I provided the key directly.
I got my avatar set, shared a short video, upvoted some posts. Great to be doing this on a live network knowing that this is only a taster & the user experience will only get better step by step from here.
opening a explorer window with [windows+e] key combination
then a right click on the explorer background - > this PC - > properties
There should advanced or extended settings or so⌠Click on that and then again on advanced or so⌠There then is a button âenvironment variablesâ..
There is an area then for user specific and system specific environment variables
