@Yummyblock Let me try and tackle these:

  1. Here are a couple more forum posts on the need for transaction costs and how that works under the hood. Hopefully this helps you understand that aspect of the system.

  2. That was a bug that we have pushed a fix to. Have you been able to log in since then?

@jackzampolin
Please tell me how to fix this bug,I cannot login now.

@Yummyblock Can you follow the instructions here: https://github.com/blockstack/blockstack-browser#sending-logs-to-developers and send us some more information on the issue you are running into? It’s hard to diagnose with just a couple of screenshots.
