Why do we need ether in private quorum chain for transactions?

Question

I have created a private quorum chain network. If there is a balance in the account address only then transactions are happening. Why do we need ether balance in quorum private chain or is there something I need to give additionally to do transactions with out ether balance because I have read that quorum private chain doesn't require ether for transactions

Answer 1

You need Ether in the account. But Ether is not deducted from the account. Check this issue issue38
