Hi hadi here (aka. 0x88).. i am experimenting with generating token allocation.. i am running this command

node client/index.js --generate --recipient 0x7755B69903BcbCc419260dBb65772412E0C4ad2b --caller 0x88e103b26e1a4ce226739d37d356b22afbfeed85 --datadir /root/.lpData/ --gasprice 10000000000 -gasLimit 2000000

i wonder why i got this error:

Unlocked caller account 0x88e103b26e1a4ce226739d37d356b22afbfeed85 Error: Returned error: gas required exceeds allowance or always failing transaction at Object.ErrorResponse (/root/merkle-mine/node_modules/web3-core-helpers/src/errors.js:29:16) at /root/merkle-mine/node_modules/web3-core-requestmanager/src/index.js:140:36 at XMLHttpRequest.request.onreadystatechange (/root/merkle-mine/node_modules/web3-providers-http/src/index.js:77:13) at XMLHttpRequestEventTarget.dispatchEvent (/root/merkle-mine/node_modules/xhr2/lib/xhr2.js:64:18) at XMLHttpRequest._setReadyState (/root/merkle-mine/node_modules/xhr2/lib/xhr2.js:354:12) at XMLHttpRequest._onHttpResponseEnd (/root/merkle-mine/node_modules/xhr2/lib/xhr2.js:509:12) at IncomingMessage.

I am very sure, i have more than enough eth to pay for the gas... thanks you.

Hi @oneyesoneno it looks like you specified a recipient address that is different from your specified caller address. At the moment, in order to generate a token allocation for a recipient address you must submit the relevant transaction from the recipient address - you cannot generate a token allocation for a recipient address by submitting a transaction from a third party caller address. This would explain the part of the error message saying "always failing transaction".

However, starting from the callerAllocationStartBlock which is equal to 6034099, you will be able to generate a token allocation for a recipient address by submitting a transaction from a third party caller address.
