JAM: Not Working - Error Report

Cesi_Jsou_Mrdky · November 16, 2024, 12:42pm

The JoinMarket (JAM) implementation is currently not functional on my system. Despite the system being configured and the services starting as expected, the JAM market for Bitcoin is not operational. Below is a summary of the observed issues and related logs for your reference.

Observed behavior:

The JAM application starts but fails to establish proper connections to all necessary peers.
Errors in the log indicate repeated connection attempts and failures for various .onion addresses.
A critical error message indicates failure to connect and handshake with any directories:
2024-11-15 14:24:41,020 [ERROR] We failed to connect and handshake with ANY directories; onion messaging is not functioning.

The implementation fails to establish required connections, rendering the market non-functional.

Steps taken:

Confirmed that Tor service is running and configured properly.
Removed and reinstalled JAM package from officaial marketplace
Verified that JAM logs consistently attempt connections but fail to handshake with necessary directories.

Thank you for taking the time to review and address this issue. I truly appreciate the effort

Hi Cesi_Jsou_Mrdky! Welcome aboard!

JAM uses its own TOR instance with custom settings (separate from the StartOS Tor daemon), and it seems there’s an issue establishing connections.

Steps to Resolve:

Access Your Server:
SSH into your server and run:
```
sudo podman exec -it jam.embassy /bin/bash
```
Check Logs:
To read the JAM-specific Tor logs, use:
```
cat /var/log/jam/tor_stdout.log
```

Restart Tor and Clear State:
Run the following commands to stop services, wipe the Tor state, and restart everything:

dinitctl stop jmwalletd && dinitctl stop ob-watcher && dinitctl stop tor && rm /home/tor/.tor/state && dinitctl start tor && dinitctl start ob-watcher && dinitctl start jmwalletd

This should reset Tor and help it obtain new guard nodes, potentially resolving the issue.

Let us know if the problem persists or if you successfully restored connectivity!

Thanks Homer,
I tried the commands you mentioned, which effectively stop all services and remove the Tor state, but the issue persists. Based on my understanding, the core problem seems to be that the directory nodes are unavailable.
here is the list of directory nodes:

github.com

joinmarket-webui/jam/blob/devel/docker/regtest/dockerfile-deps/joinmarket/directory_node/default.cfg

[DAEMON]
# set to 1 to run the daemon service within this process;
# set to 0 if the daemon is run separately (using script joinmarketd.py)
no_daemon = 1

# Port on which daemon serves; note that communication still
# occurs over this port even if no_daemon = 1
daemon_port = 27183

# Currently, running the daemon on a remote host is
# *NOT* supported, so don't change this variable
daemon_host = localhost

# by default the client-daemon connection is plaintext, set to 'true' to use TLS;
# for this, you need to have a valid (self-signed) certificate installed
use_ssl = false

[BLOCKCHAIN]
# options: bitcoin-rpc, regtest, bitcoin-rpc-no-history, no-blockchain
# When using bitcoin-rpc-no-history remember to increase the gap limit to scan for more addresses, try -g 5000

Hi,

In JAM, directory nodes are part of the underlying protocol that ensures seamless operation. Users typically don’t interact directly with these nodes unless they are debugging or configuring their infrastructure. You shouldn’t need to manually configure any system or service yourself.

This seems like a connectivity issue. The command I provided needs to be executed inside the JAM container and will not stop any services—it just restarts the daemon within the container.

If the issue persists, I suggest uninstalling JAM from StartOS and performing a fresh installation. This might resolve any overlapping issues with your Tor connection.

Let me know how it goes!
