invalid sender - when sending transactions to Private Network

[illya13]

Geth based Private Network.
Versions:

• 1.5.9
• 1.6.1
• 1.6.2 (unstable / master)

started as

geth --datadir /data --rpc --rpcaddr "0.0.0.0" --rpccorsdomain "*" --rpcapi "db,eth,net,web3,personal,admin,miner" --ipcdisable --mine --minerthreads 1 --nodiscover --maxpeers 0 --networkid 2017 --etherbase "0x8a31c26c8adb2bb0f45d70a635fcb0c4309c649b"

Please notice

--networkid 2017

MetaMask version:

• 3.6.4

Send any tx from MetaMask (including coins transfer from one MetaMask account to another) fails with invalid sender. I.e. RPC eth_sendrawtransaction fails with invalid sender

Downgrading MetaMask to 3.5.2 did help

Other RPC requests are working Ok:

• get Balance
• get Transactions Count

I think this problem is related to Metamask/metamask-plugin/#1357

[illya13]

yes,
#1357 (comment)
looks very similar

[illya13]

Sometimes have the same issue with Network ID = 17
Sometimes means - I have 2 computers, both with MetaMask 3.6.5 and connected to the same network
From 1 computer I can sign tx But from another - I can't

[danfinlay]

Are those two computers signing for the same account? That would be a different problem, and it's avoided by using different accounts from different browsers.

[illya13]

It might be the same coinbase imported. But what is the reason? Are you cashing nonce? I saw getTransactionsCount So it looks like you are getting nonce just before sending.

[danfinlay]

We are caching nonce, and our nonce caching is currently having some issues, we're fixing it asap. #1127.

That usually just results in a tx not getting mined, which resembles your recent comment, but does not return an invalid sender error.

@illya13 how did you resolve the issue? was it an EIP155 problem?

[illya13]

changed --networkid 2017 to --networkid 17

Errrmmm... Hi... I'm not a tech guru like y'all, I just need help, I keep getting invalid user on my Android trust app, I'm using the latest version.
[email protected]...
Please that's my mail... Anyone with solutions can peep me there cos I don't know if I'll be able to get this thread again.
Thanks and sorry if I'm breaking any rules

[illya13]

for private network ?

[Kenmarts]

Please explain private network, I was trying to send from one wallet to another on the TRUST WALLET app.
Sometimes it says " unknown transaction error " then it says " invalid user or sender ".
The solution might be helpful to others encountering this problem, so please help try solve it as o may not follow up this thread again... Thanks for Your help, God bless.

[Kenmarts]

Mind you I was using the android version not pc

[illya13]

I think your issue is not related to this one, so please stop it

[Kenmarts]

I should stop it? Such insult...
You can as well direct me to get a solution rather than saying I should stop...
I thought this was a community of tech guys who were ready to help.

[illya13]

... stop commenting this one, as it seems not related to your problem
and open a new one here

if you really have issues with MetaMask

[danfinlay]

Hi @Kenmarts, Illya is just pointing out that your question isn't related to his, this issue was opened by him.

It sounds like your question is related to Trust Wallet, so I would recommend asking questions from them:
