Good day. Installation process and configuration of bitcoind, coinpunk and redis went good, according to this guide: https://github.com/kyledrake/coinpunk/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-OSX.md After all i'm launching all the procedures through OSX terminal:

$bitcoind &
$cd coinpunk
$redis-server
$node start.js

Got no errors. Then i go to my localhost:8080 and Coinpunk successfully launches. But after trying to Sign Up, for creating new account and wallet i get the error:

Received an unrecognized error from the bitcoin server

And the terminal message:

bitcoind error 500: {"code":-5,"message":"Invalid Bitcoin address"}
bitcoind error 500: {"code":-5,"message":"Invalid Bitcoin address"}

I checked all my config files for matching between npcuser and npcpassword. Got no idea what to do.

You have to check that both config files in coinpunk/config.json and in coinpunk/public/config.json are configured for testnet or for production.

  1. coinpunk/config.json
    • For testnet: "testnet": true,
    • For production delete the above line if its there.
  2. coinpunk/public/config.json
    • For testnet: "network": "testnet",
    • For production : "network": "prod",

In case that doesn't fix the problem. You can't mix redis databases from testnet and production, so if you already used testnet and want to switch to production you should delete/move your old dump.rdb. In Linux it's located in /var/lib/redis/dump.rdb not sure about OSX.
