Transaction not found after 50 blocks on mainnet

Question

I updated geth & truffle today.

Now I'm getting "Transaction not found after 50 blocks" when trying to deploy to mainnet.

I tried setting my gas higher than anything on http://ethgasstation.info/ , still with no publication of the contract.

truffle.js:

live: { host: "127.0.0.1", port: 8545, network_id: "*", from: "0xa281cd2ba15dc43f8110ddaee837274800931f7e", gasPrice: 9, gas: 200000 },

(I also tried with gasPrice: 1, 2 and 3)

and here's the log from truffle migrate --network=live --verbose-rpc

"jsonrpc": "2.0",

eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[1])
100000000000000000

which is plenty more than gas * gasPrice.

Answer 1

I think you're setting the gas price wrong. You said you tried high gas prices, but it looks like your gas prices are in the single digits.

The gas price is specified in wei. A reasonable gas price right now is about 3 gwei. That's 3000000000 wei.
