When run cert-issuer -c /etc/cert-issuer/conf.ini , I got this error:

WARNING - app is configured to skip the wifi check when the USB is plugged in. Read the documentation to ensure this is what you want, since this is less secure

How to resolve this?

I can't really help there, I don't have enough details. It could be something with your issuing address? It could be your private key file too. I have found that it prefers the WIF format of the key.

KhoiUna commented

I use bitcoin-cli getnewaddress to get the issuing address. How do I get that in the WIF format?

lemoustachiste commented

hm it looks like it might already be what you did from the readme:

https://chainquery.com/bitcoin-cli/dumpprivkey

Can you make sure that this private key looks valid? This tool might help you: https://learnmeabitcoin.com/technical/wif

I have made sure the key is valid. Here're more details of the error:

Also I had to comment the rpcport=8332 in the bitcoin.conf file because when I ran bitcoind -regtest -daemon it said:

Error: Config setting for -rpcport only applied on regtest network when in [regtest] section.

So I commented bitcoind in /etc/cert-issuer/conf.ini .

#bitcoind

Then run cert-issuer -c /etc/cert-issuer/conf.ini and got a different error:

I don't know about this error. Can you try with bitcoin testnet instead? Make sure your address is valid for that network.
