Running parity node, connected to Kovan testnet.
Contract Address: 0x354Db5AE17b11fbc01A8a146B63506b1d90872E0
Using a nodejs app + web3 to send/sign transactions with the private key corresponding to this address : https://kovan.etherscan.io/address/0x02c52ceee9671b99152dff00172a53759d8b081a
which is non-empty.
With an instance of the contract, its method calls run fine, eg: var response = await tokenContract.methods.awardToken(addressParser(address),1).send({from:Account.public}) console.log(response)
Pulls up the parity ui signer in order to sign. Transaction goes through fine.
However, I must sign and send this transaction using just web3 -- I eventually want to deploy this to an IoT device. There will be no parity ui.
let tx = {}
tx.nonce = await web3.eth.getTransactionCount(Account.public)
tx.from = Account.public;
tx.to = tokenContract.options.address;
tx.data = tokenContract.methods.awardToken(addressParser(address),1).encodeABI();
// //tx.gas = await web3.eth.getGasPrice();
tx.gas = 22888
which yields a tx object.
I have Account object containing the private/public key pair, from:
var Account = web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount(privateKey);
But when I sign and send the signed transaction, I get insufficient gas from the sender's account:
let signedTx = await Account.signTransaction(tx, Account.privateKey);
console.log(signedTx)

var receipt = await web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(signedTx.rawTransaction);
console.log(receipt)
Error: Returned error: Insufficient funds. The account you tried to send transaction from does not have e nough funds. Required 114440000000000 and got: 0.
I must be missing something basic... web3.eth.defaultAccount = public key, which was derived from corresponding supplied private key, and there is a sufficient balance in the account ( verified using web3.eth.getBalance(Account.public)).
Parity, when receiving the rawtransaction is associating the signature with an entirely different publickey/wallet address (of 0 balance).
