Error issuing certificate

Technical

Hi, I am trying to issue certificates fllowing the steps in https://github.com/blockchain-certificates/cert-issuer/blob/master/README.md
when it comes to the last command: cert-issuer -c /etc/cert-issuer/conf.ini I get the following error. I already tried running in an environment but it is not working

WARNING - Your app is configured to skip the wifi check when the USB is plugged in. Read the documentation to ensure this is what you want, since this is less secure

The root issue for this is that pycoin released a new version (after almost 2 years) this week. In this new version there are a lot of non-backwards compatible changes that break cert-issuer in multiple places. Please check https://github.com/blockchain-certificates/cert-issuer/pull/144 for reference but until that gets merged or fixed some other way you can get away by locking pycoin to v0.80.

@faustow Thanks it works! I uninstalled v0.90 and instead used v0.80 and that solve all the issues, now is issuing the certificates.

@mylliswang Comment désinstallé la version 0.8 de pycoin? Merci

use this command: pip uninstall pycoin==0.9 and then pip install pycoin==0.8
(if you are using pip3 then use pip3 uninstall pycoin==0.9)
