Thank you for taking the time to try out our little tutorial, sorry that it didn't work for you.

We have since tried this on our machines and found that we too encountered the same problem you did.

After digging into the problem, we found a bug in the tbears code (caused by a change in the iconsdk).

The bug fix has been submitted and accepted. Thanks to your efforts, the tools should now work for the next person to try.

You have two choices if you want to fix the bug on your machine:

1. Wait for the new tbears whl file to be built and submitted to pypi (not sure how long that will take)

2. Run the following commands:

# make sure you have sourced your venv first (step 6)

pip uninstall tbears

pip install -e git+https://github.com/icon-project/t-bears.git#egg=tbears

pip uninstall chardet

pip install chardet==3.0.2

tbears genconf

tbears start

tbears balance hxe7af5fcfd8dfc67530a01a0e403882687528dfcb

Thanks again for taking the time to try this out.
