Development blockchain node gives "Exceeds block gas limit" on contract deployment #4

Closed AronVanAmmers closed 8 years ago

The development blockchain node at http://blockstars.io:9001 currently gives an error "Exceeds block gas limit" when the ProposalRegistry contract is deployed. This worked well before.

Hypothesis: the gas limit has decreased after a certain block number. Up to now 2500 blocks have been generated.

We use the Embark framework to start the blockchain. I have heard other people in the Embark community mention gas problems. That could be about this.

To fix it for us now, just deleting the blockchain data and restarting the node should suffice. This will clear the data of the live development version, so a new contract with test data should be deployed and configured.

Indeed deleting the blockchain data dir solved it for now. Will have to solve more reliably, of course the blockchain should remain usable even when it grows longer.
