Insufficient funds error while changing txfee

Thu, 12 Mar 2020 10:40:27 +0000

Hello Multichain Team,

I am getting below error whenever i change the transaction fee amount using settxfee command.

MultichainException [
object=code :-6.0,
reason=message : Insufficient funds,
message=null,
cause=null
]

1. multichain-cli chain1 settxfee 0.001 (works fine)
2. multichain-cli chain1 settxfee 0.10 (not working)

when the amount increases it will show an error while transferring the assets. when i reset the txfee amount then it works fine.

Could you explain why it behave like this and on what basis it will calculate the transaction fee?
Where the transaction fee would be credited and why assetref field added to address balance.
I would also like to know that how transaction fee will be calculated exactly.
Is transaction fee vary from asset to asset?

Hi, i created an asset with 350000000 balance but the problem is whenever i try to send any amount to another wallet using the method sendassetsfrom , i always get this message Insufficient funds.
Although another wallet with another asset and balance is 500000 when that person send it works fine.
What's the solution?
And another question is after i issued an asset with 500000 balance i want to issue more but the problem the asset is not open. how can i make it open?

Hi Guys,

First of all thank you, is an incredible project !

My question is:
How make correct transfer between Issue Address.

When i create an issue, exactly equal to tutorials, i cant make any transfer between compatible accounts.

My Issue is successfuly created, i saw the balance like exaple below:

{
"name": "romano4",
"assetref": "680-593-63283",
"qty": 570
},
{
"assetref": "",
"qty": 0,
"raw": 0
}

But the values "assetref" "qty" "raw" not update. I have almost 100% of sure that problem is my chain mining configuration.

Insufficient funds while having lots of UTXO

Tue, 27 Jun 2017 09:34:02 +0000

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a blockchain with no native currency, no assets or streams and no permissions. I've set the parameters so that there is no block reward, so each node has lots of UTXO from mining but those have 0 "amount".

The problem is, when I try the "sendwithdatafrom" method, I get:

error code: -6
error message:
Insufficient funds

But the node I'm trying this on has a lot of UTXO as I said. So I tried to do it via the "createrawtransaction" method and it works perfectly, so my guess is that sendwithdatafrom tries to add fee to the transaction but as there's no native currency, you can't really do so. Could you confirm this ? (I tried to use "settxfee" to 0 but it doesn't work)

Great work on multichain, thanks in advance !

Insufficient Funds error

Mon, 15 May 2017 12:59:03 +0000

In my blockchain, have 3 nodes, namely,

Node1(Admin),

Node2: this node has native assets in an address, having external private key,

Node3: this node also has an address, having external private key.

Getting insufficient funds error, when "Node1" tries to run following API command:

createrawsendfrom <Node2-Private-Address> {\" <Node3-Private-Address>\":{\" <Native-Asset-Name> \":1}}

I understand that I am getting, insufficient funds error,because "Admin(or anyone else)" can't access assets kept inside "private addresses" on a different node.

But, shouldn't API command throw intuitive error, instead of "Insufficient Funds", as it's misleading ?

sendwithmetadata error Insufficient funds - different outputs with same method

Tue, 09 Aug 2016 06:33:09 +0000

I want to use Data Stream as a append-only log, when testing the method sendwithmetadata following the guide of the doc the website provided. At first, things works well, but after executions of sendwithmetadata many time, suddenly I found an error occurs:

testchain: sendwithmetadata 1AxyjHveM5qHAabj494HHEgVny3iX3KyUfKjUh 0 123454321
{"method":"sendwithmetadata","params":["1AxyjHveM5qHAabj494HHEgVny3iX3KyUfKjUh",0,"123454321"],"id":1,"chain_name":"testchain"}
error code: -4
error message:
Insufficient funds, but there are coins belonging to addresses without send permission or P2SH addresses.

Using the multichain-explorer,I found a sendwithmetadata method normally creates a transaction(I name this kind tx as sendwithmetadata transaction) with three outputs:

When executing a new sendwithmetadata method, the third output of former sendwithmetadata transaction will be redeemed, and the new sendwithmetadata transaction also has three output.

But, when the error occurs, I found the sendwithmetadata transaction only have two outputs, so next time when I execute sendwithmetadata method, I have no "unspend" output to redeem, which make the error happen.I recreate a new chain and test sendwithmetadata many times, untill now there is no such error. I'm confused now.

so my question is why there are different transaction outputs for the same method sendwithmetadata, and is there some trick I don't know when execute sendwithmetadata, or this is just a bug?

Unsufficient funds

Mon, 08 Aug 2016 18:58:45 +0000

Hi,

I want use MultiChain as a private database, without the asset/currency aspect. I would like to store "Hello World" as hex to myself for now, with the amount of 0.

icsv-chain: sendwithmetadatafrom 1AD9yHodgUQJ85uNwTd9Ucmq4T5NXa7Le6fci2 1AD9yHodgUQJ85uNwTd9Ucmq4T5NXa7Le6fci2 0 48656c6c6f20576f726c64

error code: -4
error message:
Insufficient funds

Any advice?

"Coin selection Insufficient funds" error

Fri, 15 Jul 2016 16:30:32 +0000

I have two nodes, A and B. After a certain period of time (~24 hours) the nodes become unresponsive and need to be restarted. On restart the following messages can be seen in the logs for A and B respectively:

Node A log

mchn: Coin selection: Insufficient funds, but there are coins belonging to addresses without send permission or P2SH addresses.

mchn: Coin selection: Insufficient funds, but there are coins belonging to addresses without send permission or P2SH addresses.keypool reserve 2
keypool return 2

Node B log

mchn: Coin selection: Insufficient fundsmchn: Coin selection: Insufficient fundsmchn: Coin selection: Insufficient fundsmchn: Coin selection: Insufficient fundskeypool reserve 2 keypool return 2

This is an intermittent issue, and could be related to the way in which the application we have built is interacting with MultiChain.

I know the messages themselves allude to the problem i.e. insufficient funds :). Furthermore our application does lock funds and make offers, so our application could be at fault. But before jumping to conclusions I wanted to know if this is a generic error for a multitude of possible issues or is it specific to one thing?

Any more info/clarity on these messages would be great

Thanks!
