Error while registering a new peer

@0x009922 Thanks, that makes sense. I tested your solution and it did work with a minor fix.

I needed to add "hex" to fromMultiHash like so:

const public_key = freeScope(() => crypto.PublicKey.fromMultihash('hex', public_key_hex).toDataModel())

Thanks!!

Hello Matias,

I guess the issue is with this code:

const public_key = PublicKey({
    digest_function: Algorithm('Ed25519'),
    payload: Uint8Array.from(Buffer.from(payload, 'hex')),
});

The issue is that your payload is not a payload, but a complete public key in multihash format. Therefore, when you create datamodel.PublicKey, you add again multihash prefix, resulting in duplication.

To handle this in the most proper way, let the crypto library handle the multihash:

import { crypto } from '@iroha2/crypto-target-node'
import { freeScope } from '@iroha2/crypto-core'

const public_key_hex = 'ed0120C69B431324D855E945B64F8DD757BDB5ED10C915C9C33ED6C1B36E06B97046F0'

const public_key = freeScope(() => crypto.PublicKey.fromMultihash(public_key_hex).toDataModel())

Ah, yes, indeed. Glad it's fixed!
