Title: help with achow101-payment-proto-interface Post by: abeandund on January 15, 2018, 11:56:26 PM Do I need to install python to run achow101's? No, unless you want to use it from source. There are binaries available here: https://github.com/achow101/payment-proto-interface/releases/tag/v1.0.1I downloaded btcpp-cli-win64 this time. Norton didn't like and removed, so restored and gave it trust in file insight. Double clicked it and launched fine. Created invoice for bitpay, and on invoice clicked copy to reveal the uri. Copied uri from invoice, but wouldn't let me paste into the tool---so typed it. When i hit enter the tool closed. That is the furthest i've gotten on any of my attempts. I didn't get error msg, or crash report, but if you tell me where to look, i'll find it then post.

Open up a command prompt or powershell in the folder containing btcpp-cli-win64 (with nothing in the folder selected, hold shift then right click, choose "Open command prompt" or "Open powershell"). Type btcpp-cli-win64 to run the program from there. Follow the instructions, and if it fails, post the output. There should be a python traceback if it fails.That is the furthest i've gotten on any of my attempts.

Bitcoin Payment Protocol Interface Enter a Bitcoin URI:(edit= removed uri because it was still active and kept opening wallet if clicked) Error: could not find paymentrequest_pb2.py.

It closed on me a couple of times after typing in uri. Launching from command line seems more stable for me and I am able to copy and paste to and from opening that way. It did convert the uri to payment address, so success. I appreciate the help
While I was at it and still on my windows 7 machine, I redownloaded btcpp-qt-win64. It still doesn't work for me, but I did write down the error message: This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows" in "". I can work with I have, but would rather have it working on my windows 10 machine since that is where my Armory wallet is running. I then went over to my windows 10 machine and tried btcpp-cli-win64 and this is the error I got: btcpp-cli-win64.exe - Bad Image C:\Users\@@@@@@\AppData\Local\Temp\_MEI77402\VCRUNTIME140.dll is either not designed to run on Windows or it cointains an error.

Try installing the Visual C++ Redistributable available here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685.

The tool works fine on windows 7 and I can manage by creating the payment invoice over there, use the tool to decode the payment address from the uri then email it to the windows 10 machine and complete the payment from armory.
If you give me the steps to build from source using python, I'll give that a whirl. I am sure there are some armory users running windows 10 that could find it useful. I am going to use the tool vs. modified url method. It isn't a pressing matter at this time, but if you need a test subject to iron things out, i'm willing. Not a programmer myself, but good direction follower.

To run from source, first download and install python from https://www.python.org/. There's a section where it says something about adding python to your PATH, make sure you choose that option.Downlaod and extract protoc from https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases. There should be a file named protoc.exe in the bin folder. Download the code from https://github.com/achow101/payment-proto-interface. Copy protoc.exe from the previous step into the folder containing the source code. Open up a command prompt or powershell in the folder with the source code. Then run the following commands: Code: python setup.py install Then run the cli program using Code: python tui.py or the gui program using Code: python gui.py Title: Re: help with achow101-payment-proto-interface Post by: abeandund on January 17, 2018, 07:06:07 AM downloaded python, checked path, custom install and selected everything to make sure I got everything
