Azure Blockchain Workbench
Hi,
I created the Azure Workbench Blockchain. My question is how do I connect to MetaMask Wallet direct to my Ethereum node from outside? I want to create a token and play around with token from m...
You can't. There is no wallet in Azure Blockchain Workbench as it runs
on Ethereum PoA (Proof of Authority) consensus, instead of PoW. Thus,
there is no mining of blocks and, therefore, no need for currency
compensation. Payments in ETH are not possible.
oops, so I cannot use Metamask with it. Anyway to use the PoW consensus when I deploy?
You can use metamask with POA. You need an RPC node to connect to and then can use the "Custom RPC" option in metamask.
That being said the nodes created in blockchain workbench don't expose RPC publicly so you won't be able to connect to them from outside the network.
