Truffle tries deploy from unknown account

Question

I am trying to deploy a contract to Ropsten using Infura with the config file truffle.js below. The deploy fails because the account listed in the error message has insufficient funds – however I do not recognise the account given. It does not appear in the top 15 accounts associated with my mnemonic (e.g. using MyEtherWallet). I am inserting my mnemonic in the format word word word word.

The actual account 0 associated with my mnemonic has ample Ether from the faucet.

What am I doing wrong?

truffle.js

var HDWalletProvider = require("truffle-hdwallet-provider");
var mnemonic = "<MNEMONIC>";
var infuraAPIKey = "<INFURA-PROJECT-SECRET>";
const infuraUrl = 'https://mainnet.infura.io/'+infuraAPIKey;

const NonceSubprovider = require("web3-provider-engine/subproviders/nonce-tracker"); 
const createInfuraProvider = (mnemonic, infuraUrl) => { 
  let provider = new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, infuraUrl); 
  provider.engine.addProvider(new NonceSubprovider()); 
  return provider; 
}
module.exports = {
   networks: {
     development: {
       host: "localhost",
       port: 7545,
       network_id: "*" // Match any network id
    },
    rinkeby: {
      host: "localhost",
      provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic, "https://rinkeby.infura.io/"+infuraAPIKey, 0),
      port: 7545,
      network_id: 4,
      gas: 4712388
    },
    live: {
      host: "localhost",
      port: 8546,
      provider: createInfuraProvider(mnemonic, infuraUrl),
        network_id: 1,
        gas: 4712388
    }
  },
  compilers: {
    solc: {
      version: "0.4.24"
    }
  }
};

Answer 1

HDWalletProvider and MyEtherWallet, They both are work differently so there is some alternative you can use:

1. Using Private keys:

var HDWalletProvider = require("truffle-hdwallet-provider");
//load single private key as string
var provider = new HDWalletProvider("3f841bf589fdf83a521e55d51afddc34fa65351161eead24f064855fc29c9580", "http://localhost:8545");

// Or, pass an array of private keys, and optionally use a certain subset of addresses
var privateKeys = [
  "3f841bf589fdf83a521e55d51afddc34fa65351161eead24f064855fc29c9580",
  "9549f39decea7b7504e15572b2c6a72766df0281cea22bd1a3bc87166b1ca290",
];
var provider = new HDWalletProvider(privateKeys, "http://localhost:8545", 0, 2); //start at address_index 0 and load both addresses

2. Update Migration File to Get Addresses:

module.exports = function(deployer,network,accounts) {   
console.log(accounts);  
deployer.deploy(Migrations); 
};
