Crypto Settings Tests

After entering the selections and parameters for your Crypto Settings, you will need to test them. This test does not replace the need for a live test - but it does tell you if the parameters are essentially correct.

Each coin, and each setting for that coin, should be tested. This article describes that process.

First, you’ll see something like this button at the top of every Crypto Setting:

Press that button to see the various tests:

If you’d like to test a specific item, then select that item.

Running “All Tests” results in a hit/miss assembly of results. In this example, the Scoring Provider is not setup, configured, or used - so a bright red alarm notification tells me that it is isn’t configured. I know it isn’t configured though, so I’m not terribly upset by that message. Had I chosen a specific test (e.g. Test Hot Wallet Buy) - I would not have received that warning and my PTSD would be minimal.

If you choose a specific test - and it fails - then you know your parameters for that setting are definitely wrong. In most cases you will run specific tests for specific results.

Had the Scoring Provider been properly configured, the test would have reported:

“This address is considered high risk and is directly attributed as illicit activity or it is a sanctioned address.”

Test - Validate Invalid Payments Address

This test will check your “Invalid Payments Address” from the SELL settings.

See: Failed SELL transactions | How failed SELLS are handled:

NOTE: the Invalid Payments Address is a mandatory field.
The Invalid Payments Address has no effect when a “no forward” option is employed.

Scoring Provider Tests

Select “Test Scoring” to test your Transaction Scoring Provider configuration.

See: Transaction Scoring - General Bytes Knowledge Base - Confluence

When the cryptocurrency is BTC, ETH or LTC - a “known BAD” wallet address will be pre-populated. You may change that address to any other you want to test with your provider.
Alternatively, you can enter a Transaction ID. A transaction ID (TXID) or transaction hash is a unique set of numbers given to every verified transaction on the blockchain, and you can enter that if you prefer.

After running the test, you’ll receive a report:

In this case, the default (known bad) wallet address was used, and the report shows that the configured Scoring Provider successfully recognized it as such.
