Hi,
I’m getting an error when following the quick steps on the cert-issuer README.
Specifically on the command cert-issuer -c /etc/cert-issuer/conf.ini
bash-4.3# cert-issuer -c /etc/cert-issuer/conf.ini WARNING:root:Your app is configured to skip the wifi check when the USB is plugged in.

I opened the file “base58.py” and found the following string:
b58_digits = ‘123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz’
My assumption is that the code looks for each hash character in the array and fails to find one of them.
I noticed there’s no “0” character in the string, but there is a “0” in the hash values from the following commands:
bitcoin-cli generate 101
bitcoin-cli getbalance
bitcoin-cli sendtoaddress $issuer 5
Could this be the reason for the above stated error? If so, could you please provide further debug steps?
