did someone say spam bots? yes, I did and they show up with each mention lol what a joke.
as a result of my somewhat miffed previous post (only for lack of being heard on this page lol) I am researching my problem yet again, an involuntary beta tester for the agama wallet! just kidding cause it is voluntary this time.. I think I solved the problem and it is a very easy check. I am still waiting for the blockindex to load but I am trying the Agama one more time..
the problem?
.komodo/komodo.conf
rpcport=xxxx
xxxx being any numbers other than the default setting. if you have a line like that in your komodo.conf it will break most of the komodo tools including Agama. however, none of them know why to actually tell you the problem so your on your own unless you read this post. the only problem the tools are acknowledging is that they can't speak with the daemon.. although agama shows you the console output in the debug window of the daemon so this is entirely confusing.. and really distracted me from the solve yet just now after posting above I thought of this.. that was a problem with the other tools.
FINALLY, it works because now the daemon can talk to Agama. however, there is NO DOCS online and NO HELPERS who will ever provide that answer as above. I hope you all read this even though I am not in slack.
AGAMA DEVS:
a simple scan of komodo.conf will see if an rpcport is designated other than the default you then have two options.
1: Inform the user of the mishap and request to change
2: Adapt agama to use the RPC port just as komodod adapts.
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY INFURIATING PROBLEM WITH NO EASILY FOUND OR OBVIOUS END USER SOLUTION. HOWEVER, AS A DEV IT IS AN EXTREMELY SIMPLE PROBLEM TO FIX ONCE IDENTIFIED SO I HOPE IT IS FIXED PROMPTLY.
Whats that you say? Nobody will change this setting because it is an obscure setting to change? bullshit. maybe typical users will not change it but the program needs to be intelligent (what little it required) enough to scan the friggin config and see the port is not right before claiming it is functioning and confusing the hell out the user.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
PS: THE SWING WALLET WORKS JUST FINE AND THIS PRESENTS NO PROBLEM TO IT'S FUNCTION... SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM AGAMA DEVS?
