I'm unable to run any commands after setting up clef and geth on the Görli chain.
geth attach /path/to/clef.ipc
Welcome to the Geth JavaScript console!
modules: account:1.0 rpc:1.0
> eth.getBalance("0x8e3097A24838d7C11efd79F93c90Fa4Eb5a97C99", "ether")
Error: the method eth_getBalance does not exist/is not available
at web3.js:6347:37(47)
at web3.js:5081:62(37)
at <eval>:1:15(5)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to all of this. Thanks for your time.
Following the getting started steps on geth and Görli: https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/getting-started. These are the exact steps and output:
- created 2 accounts in clef
- run clef against my keystore:
clef --keystore /path/to/keystore --chainid 5
