You need to set up Blockstack in order to sign in

code_monk · November 18, 2017, 3:50am

I’m on Linux (Fedora 27). I’m using google-chrome (Version 64.0.3260.2 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)) . I have installed the package “sensible-browser” and set the BROWSER environment variable to google-chrome.

When I try to “Sign in using Blockstack”, for example, the To Do app, i am met with a modal that suggests I’m not signed up.

I’m totally signed up, verified, and have an Id imported from onename.

Here is the script i use to handle blockstack:// addresses:

blockstackauth.sh

#!/bin/sh

PORTAL_URL="http://localhost:8888"

# expect blockstack:AUTHENTICATION_TOKEN
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
   exit 1
fi

AUTH_TOKEN="$(echo "$1" | sed -r 's/blockstack://g' | cut -c 4-)"

and here is my blockstack.desktop:

blockstack.desktop

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/home/johnsmith/blockstack/blockstackauth %u
Name=Blockstack-Browser
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/blockstack;

the browser launches, seemingly with the right URL, but does not actually auhenticate. Instead I am met with “You need to set up Blockstack in order to sign in.”
