Why blocks are not including queued transactions in this private chain

Question

I have started two nodes with same genesis.json on same machine in a same directory. I followed the following steps:

./geth --datadir ./chaindata/ --port 30303 --networkid 15525 --rpc --rpcport 8545--rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcapi "web3,eth,personal,net" console

and then the second node (ran this command on same machine in same directory):

 ./geth --datadir ./chaindata2/ --port 30304 --networkid 15525 --rpc --rpcport 8546 --rpcaddr 0.0.0.0 --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcapi "web3,eth,personal,net" console 

PLESE NOTE THAT THE PORT, RPC PORT , AND DATA DIRECTORY ARE DIFFERENT IN THE TWO

Then, found the node id of the second one by admin.nodeInfo and added it as a peer in the other console with admin.addpeer

admin.addPeer("enode://f583bdf4e0e56818b920041a0588ba415352fa155935f04fbe287f2e2d111047a2f7e7b15c156d160b2[email protected]:30303")

Now Unlocked an account (with pre-allocated balance) and sent transaction:

eth.sendTransaction({from:"39408873c54f3d8efe67c43532ac3b3b5db7fb7f", to: "11f53eb1649af91da0af06d84700a33919febe9e",value: "250",gasPrice:20 , gas: 21000, nonce: 150 )});

But txpool.status shows the following:

{
  pending: 0,
  queued: 5
}

And when I call the eth.getTransaction("0x5aded5..."), The block number field is null.

Also txpool.status on the second node shows

{
      pending: 0,
      queued: 0
    }

However the blocks are succesfully synchronized, and the mining is successfully done. For Information : Here is my genesis.json

{
   "config": {
      "chainId": 1994,
      "homesteadBlock": 0,
      "eip155Block": 0,
      "eip158Block": 0,
      "byzantiumBlock": 0
   },
   "difficulty": "4",   // PLEASE NOTE !!!
   "gasLimit": "2000000",
   "alloc": {
      "39408873c54f5b8efe67c4353d4c3b3b5db7fb7f": {
          "balance": "100000000000000000000000"
      },
      "ae13d41d66af2d380c7af6d825ab557eb271ffff": {
          "balance": "120000000000000000000000"
      }
   }
}

Answer 1

Maybe it's a bit old but I faced the same issue and resolved it by cleaning my transaction history of metamask. Following this thread : https://github.com/MetaMask/metamask-extension/issues/1999

Answer 2

The reason is that I'm supplying arbitrary nonce in the sendTransaction method. Instead, nonce is decided automatically by geth, and it should be in a sequence. Geth internally maintains the nonce sequence and automatically supplies the next number to it. So you can Omit the nonce in the sendTransaction Method.

eth.sendTransaction({from:"39408873c54f3d8efe67c43532ac3b3b5db7fb7f", to: "11f53eb1649af91da0af06d84700a33919febe9e",value: "250",gasPrice:20 , gas: 21000 )});

This should work.
