FAQ

Q: Data transaction failed after set multi-signature

A: We recommend to use single signature for data transactions, due to the efficiency limitation of multi-signature

Q: Error: "failed to get initial information, please check configuration of merchant account and datasource account".

A: Check config/config.json to see if the name of merchant or datasource is correct. For merchant, NO need for datasource configuration; for datasource, do not have to perform merchant configuration.
