The collective Mastercoin-explorer, Mastercoin-ruby and Mastercoin-wallet topic

[maxmint]

I'm trying to fetch data from the Mastercoin-explorer API but unfortunately, it does not work for me.
I'm using AngularJS:

Code:

$http({method: 'GET', url: 'http://mastercoin-explorer.com/api/v1/transactions.json'});

I do get a response, but no JSON data is transferred. Here's the response header:

Code:

I tested another data sources at http://ip.jsontest.com/ and this works for me, so I'm not sure what's the problem here.
Thanks for any hints on how to solve this.

Can you open the link in your browser?

Text only..

That's the point

The question was actually for Maxmint

Yes, all data gets displayed correctly when opening that in a browser.
I found a workaround in the meantime, I'm querying the page via PHP curl now, that seems to be working for me.

Ah, you were trying to get it directly from javascript? That won't work because of cross-origin restrictions.

Yes, I tried to access it directly via JS. Thanks, that explains everything.

Hi All,

I apologise in advance for my technological ineptitude but does anyone have an 'idiot's guide' to installing a master coin wallet.

I have looked at https://github.com/maran/mastercoin-wallet but was completely confused as to what I had to do.

I am running windows 7 - 64 bit.

I have been offered some free Mastercoin - hence my question?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry but installing it on Windows is quite hard. I advice that you just give out a normal Bitcoin address that you own the private key for and let them sent it to that address. Then you can wait on Zathras's client, which is fully supported on Windows.

Thank you so much for the response.

I wasn't aware that I can use my bitcoin qt wallet.

Cheers

I've used an older Bitcoin address to receive some master coins from mastercoinfaucet. Does it still work of it's an older Bitcoin address? The address had zero bitcoin balance by the way.

[Tachikoma]

It doesn't matter how old the address is, all that matters is that you control the address.

Thanks! About this upcoming wallet, named Zathras; can I just import the keys into that or send the coins or how will it work exactly? Is there any ETA for this more user friendly wallet?

[Tachikoma]

This wallet is already user-friendly. It just doesn't work on Windows.

You can import the key into the wallet, that's how my wallet works, I can't tell you how it will work with the Windows wallet though. I'm not developing that.

Tried to install this Ruby based wallet on Windows but got stuck like 80% way there, after installing 4 different programs.

Do you have plans to make a simple one program installer for windows? Perhaps one that bundles all the dependencies and creates all the shortcuts and such?

[Tachikoma]

No, my wallet will always focus on Linux based systems. Zathras's and Bitoy's clients are for windows. Please look those up

I see. Well that's too bad because your wallet seems ahead of others.

Noticed in the other thread you're involved with https://masterchest.info/ This seems to be an online wallet but it won't allow me to register. Do you know how I can get an account here?
