Thanks to oierw and scipient for your explanations on IRC. I write this message for benefit of people (poor befuddled client writers like me) searching the dev archive in future....
To get a working Freenet keypair with FCP, 1) Use the FCP 'GenerateSVKKeypair' command, and save the private key 2) Use the 'ClientPut' command to insert anything as SSK at privatekey/anything. Perhaps use htl=1 to make it quick. 3) Read the FCP 'Success' message that comes back, and extract the enclosed public key. Hopefully this will also work in 0.4 ----- Original Message ----- From: "David McNab" <[email protected]> To: <devl at freenetproject.org> Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2001 9:54 AM Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] Bug Report - 0.3.9.1 - FCP generates bad keypair > > Be a sport and publish an example of the keypair that works please.. > > I think I know what the problem is. > > Here's an FCP-generated keypair that *doesn't* work: > > private: Gu-o7NntBuir6ZheF7GJCMZytuuLREcHZ-U6JaeegJM > public: YmThwa1o427rMUJb2QlIKQ6tfZc > note that insertclient munches this private key and comes up with a public > key of: > YmThwa1o427rMUJb2QlIKQ6tfZcQAgE > which is the same as the original pubkey with 'QAgE' at the end > > Now here's an InsertClient-generated keypair that *does* work: > > private: GgyIDK5iFet2GOn-mm7~AkRl2JHlfdzxr2e0 > public: uDT8iApCWc33MlNClfiMlIRHZOkQAgE > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tavin Cole" <tavin at mailandnews.com> > To: <devl at freenetproject.org> > Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2001 9:28 AM > Subject: Re: [freenet-devl] Bug Report - 0.3.9.1 - FCP generates bad keypair > > > > On Sun, May 13, 2001 at 01:53:22AM +1200, David McNab wrote: > > > Hi all, > > > > > > While I like the overall improvements with v0.3.9.1, I'm having a > problem > > > with FCP. > > > > > > Basically, the FCP 'GenerateSVKPair' command creates dud keys (ie . > > > > > > I've verified this in my code by using an FCP-generated keypair (which > > > fails), versus a hardwired keypair previously generated by InsertClient > > > (which works). > > > > > > Here's an example of a dud keypair from FCP: > > > Private: A9mgu-wwnu-u-k2VTWl37subefO9AhuIvQ > > > Public: 15fi2t5KZnFVqxer4Q7sHaBkBI8 > > > > > > Advice anyone? > > > > Be a sport and publish an example of the keypair that works please.. > > I think I know what the problem is. > > > > -- > > > > # tavin cole > > # > > # "The process of scientific discovery is, in effect, > > # a continual flight from wonder." > > # - Albert Einstein > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Devl mailing list > > Devl at freenetproject.org > > http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Devl mailing list > Devl at freenetproject.org > http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl > _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
