Re: The collective Mastercoin-explorer, Mastercoin-ruby and Mastercoin-wallet topic
I'm having an issue sending using the Mastercoin-explorer simple send.
I created a new thread, but I think maybe it's better suited here.
I'm trying to practice using TEST mastercoins.
Here is what I did:
The transaction appears on the blockchain... but it doesn't appear in the mastercoin-explorer.
What did I do wrong?
My next step in troubleshooting is to try again, but this time I have sent all my BTC to the address I'm sending msc from. Not sure if that matters or not but I figure it's worth a try.

I'm trying to practice using TEST mastercoins.
Here is what I did:
- First I opened my QT client and went to the console.
- I validated my from address that contains mastercoins and got my public key.
- Then I entered the info into the mastercoin explorer simple send form (using TEST mastercoins as the currency). My "to" address is just an address that I have in my QT wallet... so I'm trying to send to myself.
- I followed the instructions and ran the raw transaction. This is what I come up with:

I checked out your transaction and it does not contain any valid Mastercoin data. I don't have time to dive into it right now but perhaps my features from today introduced some new bugs. I disabled it for now until I can check it out properly. Sorry about the inconvenience.
It's a thin client. Nothing else needed! 
In what sense is it a "thin client"? From my understanding, a Mastercoin wallet requires the full blockchain to operate and thin clients are not known to be possible. Does it rely on a central server (mastercoin-explorer)? If so, will the "distributed exchange" function without reliance on the server in your implementation and what is the distribution of work/functionality of the client vs the server?
It's a "thin client" in the sense that it connects to a remote full node instead of a local one. I'm not sure what you mean with your second question. Could you elaborate?
