Thank you for the quick reply. I am sending UTXOs from only one MN. I also tried sending each reward separately but the same error shows
What is the version number of your Trezor's firmware?

It was on the previous version before the latest release (cant remember version sorry) it was showing the error then. So I then updated to the latest 1.6.0 firmware thinking that may help, but still the same error showed

I have a few other questions/suggestions:
- what is your destintation address type, multisig (P2SH) or normal (P2PKH) Dash address? If you don't know this, give me the first character of your destination address.
- if open, please close your web browsers that you use as an interface to wallet.trezor.io (eg. Chrome or Firefox) and retry signing a transaction
- what is your OS type and version?
If the issue persists, please send me a DMT's log file (Tools->Open log file) via DM.

Greetings

I'm trying to get into the cool club here and want to use the DMT. My system is Ubuntu 16.04 and I have python 3.5.2 installed.
After starting the program with "python3 DashMasternodeTool" I get the following error:

SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xe8' in file DashMasternodeTool on line 2, but no encoding declared;

Anyone know what might be missing?

DashMasternodeTool file is a compiled executable with python sources and interpreter inside it - you just need to execute it like a normal linux program.

Oh that's too easy. Ok, I made an alias so that the default python is now a 3.5.2 instead of 2 and pray to Linus that nothing breaks. After some new errors about the directory I moved it to my dashcore/bin folder and then it worked! Thank you...

New version of DashMasternodeTool (v0.9.16) has been released.

Changelist:
https://github.com/Bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool/blob/master/changelog.md#0915---2018-01-18
https://github.com/Bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool/blob/master/changelog.md#0916---2018-01-23

The most important changes:
* Hardware wallet initialization & recovery for online/offline usage (see: https://github.com/Bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool/blob/master/doc/hw-initialization-recovery.md)
* Filtering proposals by name/title/owner.
* A scroll area inside the Vote tab in the Proposals window to improve the visibility of proposls for users with several masternodes in the configuration and low screen resolution.

Changes in the backend.
I'm in the midst of migrating the "public" RPC nodes behind CloudFlare to mitigate DDoS-kind traffic. From the user's point of view this involves changing the domain name and the TCP port number of those nodes in the DMT configuration. These changes should be made by the application itself during the first execution of version 0.9.16, but you should review them and do the changes manually if needed.
Name/port mapping:
alice.dash-dmt.eu:8080 -> alice.dash-masternode-tool.org:443
luna.dash-dmt.eu:8080 -> luna.dash-masternode-tool.org:443
new connection: suzy.dash-masternode-tool.org:443

Since version 0.9.15 I have introduced the procedure of signing of binary files, so you can now easily verify that the files have not been corrupted while downloading or forged (see: https://github.com/Bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool#verification-of-the-binary-files).

I clearly do not stick to my original schedule which I published along with my proposal, but for me the quicker reaction to the current needs of the community is more important than strict adherence to this schedule. In the meantime, there have been some unplanned challenges, not all of which are reflected in the DMT code, but what I promised as part of my proposal seems to be still needed, so I am determined to continue.

To make this possible I intend to prolong my exclusive involvement in the project by two months, of course within the funds granted beforehand. Therefore, I will cooperate with you in this mode at least till the end of March 2018.

Ah yes, same errors as 0.9.14. I think I said about these errors before. Am running Manjaro.
Yes, in the course of half a year, two other people reported the same error, but so far I wasn't able to find the cause nor reproduce it, however, some tests indicated conflicts with other graphics software. Do you have Steam or other game engine installed on this computer?

Is it possible to run DMT on a raspberry pi?
Short answer: not possible or at least: not without extra effort.

Longer answer: DMT depends on the PyQt5 library, which is not officially available for Raspbian OS. You would probably be able to compile the library from sources, though this would not be a very trivial task.

Hi!

Trying to transfer funds out and 0.9.17 gives me:
Code:
Dash address inconsistency between UTXO (1) and a HW's path: 44'/5'/1'/0/0.

HW address: Xf35...
UTXO address: XtF9...

Cannot continue.
However an older version -- 0.9.12 -- works.
Using Ubuntu Linux, KeepKey, PIN+password.

Hi!

Trying to transfer funds out and 0.9.17 gives me:
Dash address inconsistency between UTXO (1) and a HW's path: 44'/5'/1'/0/0.
.
A few questions before we start digging deeper.
Did you close your Keepkey client app before trying to send funds with DMT?

If no, close it and try again.

If yes and the error still appears, let's use another method of retrieving the dash addresses for a given bip32 path with those two different DMT versions.

With each of two DMT versions, do the following:
- open the "Transfer funds from any HW address" dialog from the Tools menu
- in the "BIP32 path" field enter your masternode path: 44'/5'/1'/0/0
- click the "Load transactions" button
- read the dash address which appears in the label above

Then verify:
a) whether addresses for both versions differ
b) whether the address returned by v0.9.17 is the same as the address you've received in the first message (starting with "Xf35.."). If it differs, click the "Load transactions" a few times and check whether the Dash address returned is constant or changes after each click.[/CODE][/QUOTE]

Yes.

Then verify:
a) whether addresses for both versions differ
v0.9.12: Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) for this address: XtF9...
v0.9.17: There is no Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) for this address: Xf35...

b) whether the address returned by v0.9.17 is the same as the address you've received in the first message (starting with "Xf35.."). If it differs, click the "Load transactions" a few times and check whether the Dash address returned is constant or changes after each click.
I get the same behavior and addresses when I click "Load transactions" multiple times (in both versions).

Thanks to @splawik21 (kudos to him :) ), we managed to find the reason of the issue, which are the national characters (non-ASCII) in an passphrase. It turns out that if the password contains such characters, Keepkey uses an invalid encoding (NFC instead of NFKD) - it makes it incompatible with the BIP-39 standard (https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.mediawiki). In older DMT versions (< 0.9.15) that encoding was in line with the Keepkey official client, but in the new version I made it compatible with the BIP-39 standard (and Trezor). That, however, is causing such problems as yours for users who uses non-ASCII characters in an passphrase. It's abvious that we have to do something with this mess, so as a solution I'm preparing a dedicated option in the configuration, that will allow to set the passphrase encoding compatibility.

I've published a compilation with the option I've mentioned above. For now it's published only on Keybase: https://keybase.pub/bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool/executables/0.9.17a/

In the configuration window, open the "Miescellaneous" tab and for the "KeepKey passphrase encoding" option select the first entry: "NFC...." (actually it should be selected by default).

If it works as expected, changes will be included in the next "official" release.

I can happily confirm, that in my case the "NFC" encoding works and I can move the funds!
Also tested with "NFKD" and there was the error as expected.

I'm also happy that I do not need to re-setup everything because of this.
So thanks a lot for a very clever solution! :)

According to the information that I've posted while releasing v0.9.16, I've changed the two "public" RPC servers configuration (alice and luna), specifically their listen TCP port number (from 8080 to 443) and the domain name (from dash-dmt.eu to dash-masternode-tool.org).

The appropriate changes in the DMT configuration should be carried out automatically by the application itself (v >= 0.5.16), so if the application shows the "UNKNOWN PROTOCOL" message while connecting to the network, you are probably using the old version (< 0.9.16) or something other has happend that prevent DMT from upgrading the configuration.

In this case I suggest you upgrading to the lastest app version (if you are using the old one) or modify the configuration manually, by changing the RPC servers entries:

alice.dash-dmt.eu:8080 -> alice.dash-masternode-tool.org:443
luna.dash-dmt.eu:8080 -> luna.dash-masternode-tool.org:443

A brief update of what is being brewing as part of the next version of DMT:
  • TESTNET support
  • working with variuos configuration files (the open/save features)
  • payment window: the possibility of sending only a part of an UTXO
  • payment window: the possibility of making payment to multiple Dash addresses
  • payment window: saving (with optinal encryption) the list of recipients to the file for later use, importing recipients from a CSV file
  • payment window: the possibility defining amounts as a percentage of the total inputs value
  • rebuilding the main window to make room for later changes - adding a main menu and using iconic toobar buttons to save space
  • ... and many other small fixes

I'm not sure I want this to be a full-on wallet. Personally, I'm happy to withdraw individual UTXOs. Please consider priorities; I'm more interested in pre-proposal discussions / analysis and I think DMT could be a good tool for that i.e. not having to jump between DMT and web browser.

A few words about the priorities, because it may not be obvious to everyone.

The most important feature in the upcoming version is the support of TESTNET.
Here's why:
  • to analyze some of the issues reported and to improve some existing features, it is sometimes necessary to turn off a masternode for a certain time, which with the use of production masternodes isn't very efficient from a finacial point of view
  • I'd like the app to be prepared up front for the upcoming changes in the Dash protocol, which is very hard without the ability of performing prior tests in TESTNET
As transferring of tDash is not supported by official Trezor / Keepkey / Ledger web wallets, it would not be possible (or would be very hard) to fully support TESTNET without extending the 'Sending funds' functionality in DMT. As an example I could mention a preparation of a 1000 Dash collateral transaction for a testnet masternode, but there are also a few other important use-cases. Because of this, the priority of this task is strictly related to the former.

The important thing is, that I didn't change the existing method of composing a transaction inputs: it's still based on selecting individual UTXO-s. Most of the changes I've mentioned are related to the definition of the recipient(s). These modifications were also requested by several different MNOs.

Regarding the feature in DMT, allowing the user to comment (pre)proposals, I am very open to supporting this process somehow, but I have no idea how to do it properly, so as not to introduce an addtional clutter that may result from moving some comments from Dashcentral or Dash Forum to a third place.

If you have an idea how to do it sensibly considering Dashcentral and Dash forum, I am open to suggestions.

I think a DMT proposal forum would be relatively easy to setup. Tbh, I don't care if the comments are managed from a central server, we can deal with decentralization at a much later date. Nor do I care that much about diluting the discussion; if you like, that is true decentralization e.g. proposals are discussed on discord and forums, and some people (such as myself) barely bother with discord. But if you're really determined not to dilute the conversation, you could build an API for others to use.

But anyway, the point is, by building a forum, we get tight integration with hardware wallets, which is most MNOs. Indeed, there has been much discussion about filtering out trolls.

To avoid working on an "echo chamber" solution I will prepare a poll to verify what is the interest in such a solution among MNOs. If there is interest I will consider the implementation of this seriously.

Unfortunately, I could not finish all the changes planned for the version 0.9.18 by the end of March, as I had planned earlier. I need a few more days to achieve a satisfactory quality.

As this version has the implemented support for Trezor T, those of you who urgently need this functionality can use a modified version 0.9.17 with this support, which I prepared several days ago. If you are not up to date with my Discord channel, here is the link to the files: https://keybase.pub/bertrand256/dash-masternode-tool/executables/0.9.17T/

BTW, here is a glimpse on how the new version will look like (main window and payment window):

On your screenshot, I can see the recipient addresses but no further notes / recipient details.
