I started my geth using fast sync first and then normal sync once it was almost synced. 'currentBlock' is not increasing since hour and 'highestBlock' keep on increasing.

geth --testnet --rpc --cache=1024 --syncmode "fast" --rpcapi eth,web3,net,ssh,db,debug,personal --rpcaddr "10.128.0.4" --rpcport "8545"

geth attach ipc:/home/blockhealth/.ethereum/testnet/geth.ipc

> web3.eth.syncing
{
  currentBlock: 5950072,
  highestBlock: 5950187,
  knownStates: 32304159,
  pulledStates: 32290607,
  startingBlock: 5949969
}

I started my geth using --testnet i.e, on ropsten.

I checked that the block which includes the transaction of transferring the ETH from other wallet to my wallet is also added to the GETH. On https://ropsten.etherscan.io balance is 1.5ETH in my wallet. But still I am seeing balance as 0 when checking with geth :

> web3.eth.getBalance('0xXXXXXX')
0

And error 'Insufficient funds for gas * price + value' while connecting to my smart contract.

my GETH version is : Geth/v1.8.27-stable-4bcc0a37/linux-amd64/go1.10.4

  • web3.eth.blockNumber = 0 Jul 8, 2019 at 13:53
  • You get these results because you are still syncing, so you need to wait longer. I don't know the total number of pulledStates of Ropsten but on Rinkeby is around 90697511.

  • My node is getting synced from 12hours. From last 6hours there is a lag of 50-120 blocks. Jul 8, 2019 at 20:32
  • I didn't got the solution there. Nothing worked for me Jul 10, 2019 at 6:52
