eth_sendTransaction

Warning

Not usable on Telcoin Network

The eth_sendTransaction JSON-RPC method asks the node to sign the transaction with the from account’s key. Telcoin Network nodes do not store user private keys and configure no RPC signing accounts, so every call to this method fails with the unknown account error shown below.

Sign transactions client-side and submit them with eth_sendRawTransaction instead.

Parameters

Object - The transaction object

• from: DATA, 20 Bytes - The address the transaction is sent from.
• to: DATA, 20 Bytes - (optional when creating new contract) The address the transaction is directed to.
• gas: QUANTITY - (optional, default: 90000) Integer of the gas provided for the transaction execution. It will return unused gas.
• gasPrice: QUANTITY - (optional, default: To-Be-Determined) Hexadecimal of the gasPrice used for each paid gas.
• value: QUANTITY - (optional) Hexadecimal of the value sent with this transaction.
• input: DATA - The compiled code of a contract OR the hash of the invoked method signature and encoded parameters.
• nonce: QUANTITY - (optional) Hexadecimal nonce value. This allows to overwrite your own pending transactions that use the same nonce.

Returns

On Telcoin Network this method never returns a transaction hash. Because the node has no signer for any from address, every call returns a JSON-RPC error (code -32602) with the message unknown account.

Use eth_sendRawTransaction to submit a transaction signed client-side, and eth_getTransactionReceipt to get the contract address, after the transaction was mined, when you created a contract.
