I am trying to do some testing on Ropsten testnet but I cannot deploy contract or even send Ether.

I get this error when trying to send ether:

The transaction from "Main account (Etherbase)" to 'account1' couldn't be successfully executed.

Example transaction ID: 

0xa85b767355c7bbd4ee8d97c30c100c8e04f2654e4fdebf2c93b4bfafdbe58bc7

It will stay at 0 confirmation and I will receive the error after about 5 mins

  • Version: 0.9.2
    • Blockchain: Ropsten testnet
  • OS & Version: windows
  • Node version: geth 1.7.2
  • Number of blocks synchronized: 2101823

I have seen this question asked before on here but none of the solutions help me, as I have this issue even when trying to send ether and not just contract deployment.

  • looks like the 'to:' key in the parameters to sendTransaction is undefined , you forgot to specifiy the destination address. but without code, there wouldn't be help from us – Nulik Nov 19 '17 at 15:45
  • Oh I don't think that is the reason. It says that for contract deployment, but I have the same issue with sending funds from one account to another. I have updated my post to clarify this. – crypto trader Nov 19 '17 at 16:21

    @cryptotrader You cannot send transactions from geth until it is fully synchronized. Right now mainnet is above 4.5M blocks. – Ismael Nov 19 '17 at 16:59
  • @Ismael This is not on main net, it is on ropsten. I am able to receive eth on these account in my mist but unable to send from them. Sorry if my question wasn't clear – crypto trader Nov 19 '17 at 17:56
  • Does anyone have any more suggestions? Thanks – crypto trader Nov 19 '17 at 22:14
  • @cryptotrader It appears you have sent early another transaction https://ropsten.etherscan.io/tx/0xe9b0a8076122fcadff107124b16fefe8477608e2051d5818956013517653ee9b with a fee of 1 Gwei. Until that transaction is mined all subsequent transactions are stuck. You can replace it by sending a new transaction with the same nonce and higher fee. – Ismael Nov 19 '17 at 23:01

Your problem seems to be because on a low gas and gas-price. Transactions with low gas and gas-price will not be mined by miners and thus will just stuck! Increase both gas and gas-price. And note that deploying contract will need much more price than normal Eth transactions.

If this did not solve your issue please share: the Tool you are using (is it Truffle or do you try to do your transaction using Parity?) and share the values of gas and gas-price that you are using.
