Specify which keyfile to use

Question

I have been getting the error:

Failed to unlock account "" (no key for given address or file)

I did some reading and found that the problem could be caused by conflicting keyfiles. The solution was to specify the keyfile to use. How would I do that? I found the solution here:

Error "no key for given address or file" when unlocking coinbase account

The command I am using is:

geth --datadir node1/ --port 30303 --rpc --rpcport 8545 --rpcapi "personal,db,eth,net,web3" --networkid 1 --unlock '0x""' --password passwords.txt --mine

Answer 1

Issue in your command i guess.

The command I am using is:

geth --datadir node1/ --port 30303 --rpc --rpcport 8545 --rpcapi "personal,db,eth,net,web3" --networkid 1 --unlock '0x""' --password passwords.txt --mine

Try to use --unlock 0
