Ethereum: Unable to sign transactions due to missing owners
As of now, I cannot provide a definitive answer regarding the specific issue you are experiencing with Ethereum and the “Cannot find enough owners to sign” error. However, I can provide some possible causes and solutions that may help resolve this issue.
Possible Causes
- Incorrect CLI configuration: Make sure your
load_cli_owners
command is configured correctly. This should include specifying the network you are on (e.g. mainnet or testnet) and verifying that the correct wallet is being used to sign transactions.
- Insufficient wallet space: Ethereum requires a certain amount of storage space to operate, including memory and storage. If your wallet’s available space is insufficient, it may not be able to handle transactions properly, resulting in errors like “Cannot find enough owners to sign” when trying to load the required owners for a transaction.
- Wallet Software Issues: There could be issues with the wallet software itself that are preventing it from signing transactions or from properly handling the required number of owners.
Solutions
1. Check CLI Configuration and Wallet Settings
Make sure your load_cli_owners
command is configured to use the correct network, wallet, and account for signing transactions.
load_cli_owners --network=mainnet --wallet=
Check that you are using the correct account for signing transactions (
).
2. Check Wallet Space
If your wallet storage space is low:
- Delete Unwanted Folders: Make sure your wallet folder and subfolders are not cluttered with unnecessary files or folders.
- Free Up Storage: If you have recently downloaded large amounts of data, consider deleting them to free up the storage space needed for your wallet.
3. Update Wallet Software
Consider updating your wallet software to the latest version. Sometimes updates resolve issues with signing transactions and handling owner uploads correctly.
git clone
cd wifi
make clean && make install
`
Make sure you have a recent copy of the Ethereum blockchain in mind when uploading owners.
Additional Tips
– Always keep your wallet software up to date with the latest patches and updates to prevent known security vulnerabilities.
– Use trusted sources to download wallets (e.g. MetaMask, MyEtherWallet).
– Regularly back up your wallet data to prevent loss in the event of technical issues or malware infections.
If you have tried these steps and are still experiencing issues, it may be helpful to consult the official Ethereum documentation or seek support from a local Ethereum community for further assistance.
