I'm running Ubuntu 18.03 LTS on a machine with Intel inside Core i5, and with Docker and Docker Compose I have successfully set-up a running node on Alphanet. I downloaded a faucet wallet, however this is not recognized. What am I doing wrong? It could be something very simple, due to the fact that I'm not an experienced programmer. With this wallet I would like to test the functionality of VIAZ. Thanks for helping me out.

These are the steps that I tried:

easy@easy-VPCEJ2M1E:~$ ./alphanet.sh 

restart Stopping alphanet_endorser-003-PsddFKi3_1 ... 
done ... 
The script is up to date. ... 
Creating alphanet_endorser-003-PsddFKi3_1 ... 
done 

easy@easy-VPCEJ2M1E:~$ ./alphanet.sh client activate account alice with "container:'/home/easy/Downloads/tz1YpvKafoN8vw8fAR12ijey9MX3LHLqGydA.json'"

  • If you are just wanting to test the VIAZ demo, it may be easier to use the faucet account with light wallet like TezBox - here's a guide: github.com/viazofficial/web-app/blob/master/ALPHA_DEMO.md (you don't need to run a full node to use the viaz demo)

    I had a similar problem - node on alphanet was working, but could not make any operations with faucet. Running node was not enough. In my case the node wasn't completely bootstrapped yet, this is why. You can start by checking if your node was bootstrapped completely - run this: ./tezos-client bootstrapped

I would try leaving out the single quotes from that container: parameter. I suspect that the extra level of quoting is causing problems. That is, try:

 ./alphanet.sh client activate account alice with "container:/home/easy/Downloads/tz1YpvKafoN8vw8fAR12ijey9MX3LHLqGydA.json"

Make sure to update your node. 003-PsddFKi3… is the old protocol, should be 004-Pt24m4xiP… by now.
