truffle deploy --network=live
Running migration: 1_initial_migration.js Deploying Migrations... ... undefined Error encountered, bailing. Network state unknown. Review successful transactions manually. Error: insufficient funds for gas * price + value

I understand I need to add funds to my wallet. But why "network state unknown"?

Yes I ran with RPC. I first got an error that the account was locked so I unlocked it.

Reran the truffle deploy --network=live command and still got "network state unknown"

  • I think the only problem is that you don't have funds in your wallet. I'd bet that if you added funds this would go away.

  • I think you would be right, but when I add the balance: ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/42068/… happens

  • Added to question. I deployed my contract through REMIX, after paying far higher than the "recommended" gas

Possible it's not unlocked long enough?

web3.personal.unlockAccount(web3.personal.listAccounts[0],"password",15000); // 1st account, pw & time in seconds ...

  • That's the most reasonable answer yet. I still have this problem: ethereum.stackexchange.com/questions/42068/… but I'm awarding you the bounty for a reasonable answer

  • Sweet. Thanks. It's unfortunate the errors can be cryptic and somewhat misleading. It makes us doublecheck all the things we think we know. Funded, unlocked, sufficient funds for eth + gas, constructor can run. Did you check that there is nothing in the constructor that might throw with infinite gas consumption? A require?

  • Yeah -- I ended up deploying through Metamask + Remix, and offering about quadruple the amount of gas I was. Anything below that was giving me warnings: "want to retry with more gas?"
