Invalid asset name

Question

Hi! 

I'm trying to create a open asset via RPC, and looks like the assetname is getting rejected for some strange reason. 

 

>>> rpc_client.issuefrom('17z2BPm3buLU1w5SBV7iisjVRTC5aNUHu5','17z2BPm3buLU1w5SBV7iisjVRTC5aNUHu5',{"name": "84876530-2567-4b", "open": True}, 100,1,0)
{u'id': 3, u'result': None, u'error': {u'message': u'Invalid asset name', u'code': -8}}

Changing any character from the name, it works. 

Version running:

build 1.0 alpha 27 protocol 10007

 

There are some sort of 'reserved' names?

Thanks

Answer 1

You were unlucky. This (integer-integer-hex) just happens to be the format that MultiChain uses for asset references (assetref fields), which are another permitted way of referring to assets across the APIs. So please just try to use asset names that don't match this format.
