Error occur while send Algos from My Account to Another Account

Hi All,
I am trying to Transfer Algos from one account to another account. whenever I transfer I need to give a mnemonic in my contract code. if I give my wallet address directly rises some error.
this is my code:-

function recoverAccount1(){
** const passphrase = “YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY”;**
** let myAccount = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey(passphrase);**
** return myAccount;**
}
error message

(My account A address: undefined
err Error: address seems to be malformed
** at Object.decodeAddress (D:\GitAlgo1\docs\examples\atomic_transfers\v2\javascript\node_modules\algosdk\dist\cjs\src\encoding\address.js:61:15) **
** at new Transaction (D:\GitAlgo1\docs\examples\atomic_transfers\v2\javascript\node_modules\algosdk\dist\cjs\src\transaction.js:88:28)**
** at Object.makePaymentTxnWithSuggestedParams (D:\GitAlgo1\docs\examples\atomic_transfers\v2\javascript\node_modules\algosdk\dist\cjs\src\makeTxn.js:54:12)**
** at submitGroupTransactions (D:\GitAlgo1\docs\examples\atomic_transfers\v2\javascript\atomicTransfer.js:80:36)**
** at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:94:5)** )

Usually it means that the address is incorrect.
Is the address you are using of the following form:
MSAIXPDO552NEV4WWDUZIGKV6ST6JHCYQ7TDIJEZQY45TUEPTOET42QX7A?
(string of same length with only characters in the base32 set)

Can you give an example that we can execute and that is as short as possible with this problem?
You may either write it between triple backquotes ‘’’ or link to a Github Gist.

thanks for the response
Hi @fabrice
How to transfer my Asset or Algos using my wallet address in reactjs(javascript).if possible?
can you give a sample code or Github?

I would start without react and do: 3. Your First Transaction - Algorand Developer Portal

Thanks for the response
Hi @fabrice
I already try this method. I put my mnemonic this process works done. but I put my wallet address its does not work properly?

It would be very helpful if you could show a minimal version of your code that does not work.

To develop in React, you need to decide where to store the user keys.
You may want to consider using AlgoSigner, MyAlgoConnect or Aikon ORE ID.

Hi @fabrice
Thanks for the response.
I try this below Github code. Does this code require our mnemonic?

Hi,@ramchan. The code you are referring to is OK, but of course there are some preconditions:

  • you should use a local server and check that the port number is OK, or use a public service like PureStake, for example. I prefer to use Purestake, and changed the code to use Purestake
  • you should set up two accounts, and the passphrases should be inserted into the code
  • you should “fuel” your two accounts with Algorand initially.

With these changes, the code runs without any glitches.

To use PureStake API, use can get your token there, or use (for Testnet) the token THEY use in their examples:

const x_api_key = 'B3SU4KcVKi94Jap2VXkK83xx38bsv95K5UZm2lab'; 

const token = {
  "X-API-key": x_api_key,
};

const server = "https://testnet-algorand.api.purestake.io/ps2";
const port = "";

To set up the two accounts, you can use the command line interface, or create a wallet and two accounts using https://wallet.myalgo.com or https://www.a-wallet.net/

After the creation of the two accounts, you should get some Algos at Testnet dispenser, https://bank.testnet.algorand.network/

And, of course, you should substitute the 25-word passphrases of the two accounts to the example program, where it says: "Your 25-word mnemonic goes here"

I hope this helps.
Good luck!

Hi @Maugli
Thanks for response
Actually, I am trying to create an NFT token using an algo network. I just created a simple website to create their NFT token by clicking create NFT button.
whenever a user clicks create NFT button. The wallet address connects to the contract.so I need to pass the wallet address connect to the contract function. How can we pass the wallet address instead of directly substitutes the mnemonics passphrases?

The NFT by definition is ASA which is issued in quantity 1. You can move this asset between the algo addresses thus owner of the NFT is the owner of the private key of the address it resides at.

Possible attributes while defining ASA:

Creator, manager, Reserve,Frozen and Clawback are algo addresses… It is better to have the mnomenic for these addresses when you create the asset… Reserve,Frozen and Clawback should be empty in my opinion for NFT

Hi @scholtz
Thanks for your response.
I created ASA using javascript. but it is possible to change the creator address or manager address?
if so how can I change?

Code:-

const algosdk = require(‘algosdk’);
var account1_mnemonic = “your mnemonic”;
var account2_mnemonic = “your mnemonic”;
var account3_mnemonic = “your mnemonic”;
var recoveredAccount1 = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey(account1_mnemonic);
var recoveredAccount2 = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey(account2_mnemonic);
var recoveredAccount3 = algosdk.mnemonicToSecretKey(account3_mnemonic);
console.log(recoveredAccount3.addr);
const baseServer = “https://testnet-algorand.api.purestake.io/p”;
const port = “”;
const token = {
‘X-API-key’ : ‘your purestake api’,}

const waitForConfirmation = async function (algodclient, txId) {

let lastround = response[“last-round”];
while (true) {
const pendingInfo = await algodclient.pendingTransactionInformation(txId).do();
if (pendingInfo[“confirmed-round”] !== null && pendingInfo[“confirmed-round”] > 0) {
//Got the completed Transaction
console.log("Transaction " + txId + " confirmed in round " + pendingInfo[“confirmed-round”]);
break;
}
lastround++;
await algodclient.statusAfterBlock(lastround).do();
}
};

let accountInfo = await algodclient.accountInformation(account).do();
for (let idx = 0; idx < accountInfo[‘created-assets’].length; idx++) {
let scrutinizedAsset = accountInfo[‘created-assets’][idx];

console.log("AssetID = " + scrutinizedAsset[‘index’]);
let myparms = JSON.stringify(scrutinizedAsset[‘params’], undefined, 2);

await printCreatedAsset(algodclient, recoveredAccount1.addr, assetID);

Yes, it can be changed, see the following excerpts from the above code:

As explained by @Maugli the manager address, reserve address, freeze address, and clawback address can be changed by the manager as long as they’re not zeroed out.

The creator cannot be changed.

Hi @fabrice

I am trying to Transfer my ASA(Algorand Standard Asset) from my account to another account using js code. Whenever I transfer, I need to give a mnemonic in my js code. If I give my wallet address directly rises some error.

error message:-

Can you find a minimal example code (with as few lines as possible) that exhibits this error?
Can you post it here between triple backquotes ```?

i am having the same issuew as you did you mange to solve it?
