Empty Coinbase.txt

Hi, I'm working on setting up some new nodes and everything worked well in regards to exercising the steps at:

https://github.com/XinFinOrg/XinFin-Node

However, after the nodes have been at height and healthy for some time I came to grab the coinbase.txt data for staking processes and found that it is empty.

Any ideas?

I understand the latest release changed that and yes, the coinbase.txt file is empty. You can grab your coinbase address here: ~/XinFin-Node/mainnet/xdcchain/keystore The coinbase address starts with "xdc".

The keystore file doesn't contain an address starting with 'xdc'

Inside keystore there should be a file that starts with "UTC" the date when the node was created, some other numbers -- and the address.

Yes, the file exists in expected naming format and contains a json data structure.
One of the properties of that json is 'address' but it doesn't start with 'xdc'.

Oh, I see - the actual file name contains the xdc address got it.
