bazo-client

The command line interface for interacting with the Bazo blockchain implemented in Go.

Setup Instructions

⚠ BAZO was moved to Docker

1. Install Go (developed and tested with version >= 1.14)
2. Set $GOROOT and $GOPATH. For more information, please check out the official documentation.
3. run ./scripts/fix-imports.sh

Furthermore, the configuration.json in the root directory of the bazo-client must be properly configured before interacting with the CLI.

Contents of configuration.json:

{
  "this_client": {
    "ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "8010"
  },
  "bootstrap_server": {
    "ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "8000"
  },
  "multisig_server": {
    "ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "port": "8020"

Update

A client can update the content of the data field of specific transactions. He does so by purposely generating a hash collision between the hash with the old and new data.

The following transactions can be updated:

• Account-Tx
• Funds-Tx
• Update-Tx

Arguments

• --tx-hash Hash of the transaction to be updated
• --tx-issuer Wallet file of the client. Ensures clients are only allowed to update their own transactions.
• --update-data Data that shall be updated on the tx
• --chparams Chameleon hash parameters of the client

Example

./bazo-client update --tx-hash d07a963769a3a23eec6c25cc81612cf3269399cb2db84e38040951131c7e6200 --tx-issuer WalletA.txt --update-data "New data goes here." --chparams ChParamsA.txt

Network
