I am trying to upload ensutils.js from https://github.com/ethereum/ens to my geth console. I am using loadScript('/home/path/to/ensutils.js').

Every time I try it, it gives me an invalid address error and I am not sure why. Would anyone happen to know what the issue is here. I have my default address set and the account unlocked.

loadScript('/home/path/to/ensutils.js')

  • Please post exactly the line how you're calling loadScript. – ivicaa Feb 22 '18 at 2:34
  • i used the same syntax for the ensutils-test.js and it uploads with out the invalid address error – Jordan Feb 22 '18 at 2:38

In ensutils.js, there is for example a code line like var ens = ensContract.at('0x314159265dd8dbb310642f98f50c066173c1259b');.

When your node is not synced to the mainnet, this line will fail.

  • My console has been running for severail days, when i do eth.syncing the highest block and current block are almost the same, how do i know if it is done syncing or not? I ran that line of code in my console and it returned undefined, so i am guessing you are right – Jordan Feb 22 '18 at 3:17
  • I am also unable to unlock eth.accounts[0]. – Jordan Feb 22 '18 at 3:20
  • I tried this on a geth console of a node which is synced with the mainnet. It worked. You can copy&paste var ensContract = ... and var ens = ensContract.at... directly to the console and see what happens. – ivicaa Feb 22 '18 at 3:26
  • After running both lines, they both returned undefined – Jordan Feb 22 '18 at 3:28
  • That's ok. What happens if you type ens in the console? – ivicaa Feb 22 '18 at 3:30
