Update. Problem fixed. Let me tell you how I fixed this problem. This is an update but you can also continue reading my original post as well.
Blurt Blog Issue Solved
2021-08-01 - 04:10 AM - Blurt Blog
@saboin, ok. Thanks. Problem fixed. I changed the node to what you suggested on both Blurt Blog and Blurt Wallet. I didn't have those two set to the same node before that. And that was probably the biggest issue.
Update: Ok. Problem fixed. Two things I did to fix my problems. First, went into the settings at https://blurt.blog/@joeyarnoldvn/settings and changed the node to https://rpc.blurt.world and then, second, went into the settings on the Blurt Wallet at https://blurtwallet.com/@joeyarnoldvn/settings and changed the node there to that same exact node, https://rpc.blurt.world. And @saboin was the one who told me that was the node which was working.
I talked about the problems I had. But one of the problems is that I didn't have Blurt Blog and Blurt Wallet tuned to the same node and I was trying different nodes but was not sure which nodes would work. And as soon as I got confirmation of which node to try, then I was able to get it to work. I cannot say if there were other factors. But using the same node for both, and especially a node that works, is probably the most important thing to remember for those who might run into similar problems in the future.
Step one, find out which node or nodes to try. Step two, align Blurt Blog and Blurt Wallet to the same node. Otherwise, you might run into similar issues I faced, assuming that was the problem I had. Well, on a side point, I was not able to directly upload an avatar. But perhaps I need to clear cache and cookies in my Firefox web browser before I can directly upload a profile photo or maybe there are other problems relating to that. But I can at least link my avatar from other photo hosts. And I at least got this node issue figured out I think, so far so good. Thanks and sorry.
That is my update but now back to the original post that I wrote here before I was able to fix this problem as follows.
The avatar remains the same. When I go to the Blurt Wallet, it appears that I can change the settings and it looks changed.
However, what I see in the wallet is different than what I see on my profile settings or banner.
I tried different API nodes and tried my private posting key and my private active key. But there still appears to be a gap between the wallet and the Blurt app or website.

One error I get when trying the https://Blurtd.privex.io node and https://api.blurt.world node and the https://blurt-rpc.steem.buzz node:
TypeError: Network request failed
When I tried the https://rpc.blurt.world node:
RPCError: Bad Cast:Invalid cast from type 'array_type' to Object
But then I tried that first node again, https://Blurtd.privex.io, and got this:
RPCError: Assert Exception:_callbacks.find( txid ) == _callbacks.end(): Transaction is a duplicate
Duplicate?
I don't think it was a duplicate request or a request which was already previously transacted and completed. I wanted to changed photos and also text in my profile and it did not change.
But it appears changed sometimes in the wallet part like I said already but not in the profile part.
In case you are confused, there are two websites I am talking about as mentioned above, the Blurt wallet and the Blurt Blog website. When I go to my Blurt Blog homepage, I do not see what I see in my Blurt wallet page.
Also, there is a second settings page on the Blurt Blog website which has options for different nodes. The wallet has four node options but the Blurt Blog settings has six different node options or different URL web addresses or links.
To be clear there is a settings page via the Blurt wallet. But I am talking about a secondary setting page found via Blurt Blog. The first settings page however is found on the Blurt wallet website next to wallet. You can see it says settings next to the wallet tab near the top right side of the webpage underneath the banner.
Like I said, the Blurt wallet banner looks different than the Blurt Blog banner.
Photos
I cannot upload photos
I get this error message when I try to upload photos on Blurt:
Image upload : Unable to contact the server.
I have had these problems on Blurt Blog for several months now since probably May of 2021 or maybe longer. But a pretty long time.
Every week or at random times in May, June, and July of 2021, or roughly the past several weeks or several months or longer, I have been trying to fix this problem I am describing here. I mean, all of these problems.
I have tried different things like I said, different passwords or keys, different nodes, I tried changing the text that I wanted to change in my Blurt profile.
I tried adding a link to a photo for my Blurt profile photo but it does not change the Blurt Blog avatar. It does appear to change the Blurt wallet avatar however.
I also tried logging out and then back in. That did not work.
Things seem to be not the same as what you might find on Hive Blog or Steemit. Prove me wrong but there seems to be a few things different about Blurt.
I mean of course the nodes are different but I mean not just that but there may be other things that are different that is causing this disconnect between the website and the wallet. I just can't put my finger on it yet.
