Have a 3-node local private cluster - Nodes A, B and M (miner). Added M as a peer to both node A and node B. When send a transaction transferring 1 ether from node A to node B - eth.sendTransaction in node A. See there is one pending transaction in node A while no pending in either node B or node M. My understanding was that all transactions propagate and node M would mine that and add to the Block. See 0 pending transactions in node B or node M. Am I missing something ?

  • Can you confirm that you see M with admin.peers? – Xavier Leprêtre B9lab Oct 10 '16 at 18:08
  • Node M shows both the node A and node B as peers. – S.Bhaskar Oct 10 '16 at 21:03
  • Started the miner using the command: geth --mine --minerthreads 1 --etherbase "xxx" --gasprice 1000000 --gpomin 1000000 --gpomax 1000000 --identity "miner" --datadir ./data/miner --networkid 12345 --maxpeers 2 --nodiscover --ipcdisable --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport 30001 --port 8081 --verbosity 4 console, where xxx is the miner account address – S.Bhaskar Oct 10 '16 at 21:05
  • started 2 nodes A and B using the command: geth --identity <node-name> --datadir ./data/<A or B> --etherbase "xxx" --networkid 12345 --maxpeers 2 --nodiscover --ipcdisable --rpc --rpcaddr 127.0.0.1 --rpcport <30002 and 30003> --port <8082 and 8083> --verbosity 3 console – S.Bhaskar Oct 10 '16 at 21:07
  • If the sendTransaction is performed on node M, then the transaction is mined and all the node A, B, and M reflect the appropriate ether balances. – S.Bhaskar Oct 10 '16 at 21:36

it seems to be a bug in geth : read https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/2769

  • Tried starting all the nodes A, B, and M as normal and added peers M to node A and B as well as peer A to node B. This way all the nodes are connected with 2 peers. Now started the miner on node M and send a transaction from node B. Nothing happens ... this is a serious bug IMHO. How is one supposed to setup and test ethereum in an enterprise ? – S.Bhaskar Oct 13 '16 at 1:11
  • use another client parity or eth – Badr Bellaj♦ Oct 13 '16 at 8:27

You should have multiple nodes to have complete private network setup, single miner will not work as it violates ethereum protocol , try with multiple nodes it should work, but two miners cannot run under single windows OS , please follow setup for running multiple miner below
