This is the log output, any help would be appreciated:

Same here, exactly same error.

[alexykot]

In fact the pull request https://github.com/SilentCicero/ethereumjs-accounts/pull/14 is fixing that. Not sure when that would be merged in though.

[rolandkofler]

Still doesn't work

[tauqeerqau]

hi, did you guys find any fix for this issue?

[bilthon]

same problem here

[vbaranov]

the same issue, any updates?

[martriay]

same issue

[pau1m]

same issue

[SilentCicero]

Once again, this library is depreciated. Please use ethereumjs account or ethjs or ethers js!

Oh bugger, I'm getting the same error. I was hoping to use this library to generate an account since the latest Web3.js 1.0.0-beta.27 hasn't finished adding unlockAccount() https://github.com/ethereum/web3.js/issues/1264. I just tried using ethers.js but that didn't work for me either: https://github.com/ltfschoen/geth-node/compare/ethers-library?expand=1, it gave me error: Provided address "0x3141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592" is invalid, the capitalization checksum test failed, or its an indrect IBAN address which can't be converted.

[SilentCicero]

I would say then: use ethjs-account for generation, and ethereumjs-tx for signing. If you need a provider to intercept and sign transactions use ethjs-provider-signer.

Just don't use ethjs-signer (as it doesn't have replay protection eip155).

@SilentCicero Thanks, you've created some awesome resources and I just quickly tried them out, but they don't appear to incorporate deployment of an actual smart contract to a network. I also encountered the error shown below:

I installed the dependencies:

npm install --save-dev ethjs-query
npm install --save-dev ethjs-account
npm install --save-dev ethereumjs-tx
npm install --save-dev ethjs-provider-signer

Then injected the dependencies into main.js and ran with node main.js:

const EthjsAccount = require('ethjs-account');
const EthjsProviderSigner = require('ethjs-provider-signer');
const EthjsQuery = require('ethjs-query');

const ethjsAccount = EthjsAccount.generate('892h@fs8sk^2h8s8shfs.jk39hsoi@hohsko');
const ethjsAccountAddress = EthjsAccount.getAddress(ethjsAccount.privateKey);
console.log(`ethjsAccount: `, ethjsAccount);
console.log(`ethjsAccountAddress: `, ethjsAccountAddress);

const ethjsSignerProvider = new EthjsProviderSigner(GETH_IPC_PATH, {
  signTransaction: (rawTx, cb) => cb(null, EthjsSigner.sign(rawTx, ethjsAccount.privateKey)),
  accounts: (cb) => cb(null, [ethjsAccountAddress]),
});
const ethjsQueryProvider = new EthjsQuery(ethjsSignerProvider);
console.log(`ethjsSignerProvider: `, ethjsSignerProvider);
console.log(`ethjsQueryProvider: `, ethjsQueryProvider);

But the error was:

Error: [ethjs-account] invalid address value "0xc3ab8291f0c2029bb712159c2f4d768b55f59c978eab26dcf1e5fc5e7bd24294" not a valid hex string

Here's a branch in my repo where I tried to incorporate it. I got that error, but the idea was to use that address and provide it to .send after .deploy, as shown https://github.com/ltfschoen/geth-node/compare/ethjs-libraries?expand=1

I've created individual files where I've experimented here: https://github.com/ltfschoen/geth-node/tree/master/scripts/experiments

[SilentCicero]

That is another tool yet to be incorporated ;) checkout SilentCicero/ethdeploy to be ethjs-deploy.

I was mistaken about Web3.js 1.0.0-beta.27. unlockAccount does actually work. I didn't use Promises correctly in order to unlockAccount before running deploy to deploy the contract. Here's a commit where i got it to deploy https://github.com/ltfschoen/geth-node/commit/611723f044295b8cb05858d382c1b6377d1e1955
