(FR) give account balance to default account

[drandreaskrueger]

The default account has no money:

geth attach http://localhost:8545

Welcome to the Geth JavaScript console!
instance: Parity//v1.11.11-stable-cb03f38-20180910/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.28.0

["0x9cfd59da9b75f06719de2c8ccead40e8e3799bfc"]

> eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0])
0

I see that via spec.json you have given money to one account:

> eth.getBalance("0x00Ea169ce7e0992960D3BdE6F5D539C955316432")
1.606938044258990275541962092341162602522202993782792835301376e+60

it is just not available on the http://localhost:8545 default node address.

Could you make your script give some money to that account?

P.S.: I started like this

cd paritytech_parity-deploy
git checkout a76a2f1b7173ff5d138e0cb66efdb939bfe33aab 
sudo ./clean.sh
./parity-deploy.sh --nodes 4 --config aura --name myaura --geth
sed -i 's/parity:stable/parity:v1.11.11/g' docker-compose.yml
docker-compose up

My reason: I get a lot of

'Insufficient funds. The account you tried to send transaction from does not have enough funds. Required 1 and got: 0.'

in my unittests when running them on parity aura (parity instantseal no problem at all).

[drandreaskrueger]

it happened now because previously I had always used

--gasprice 0 

so no balance did not matter when only sending smart contract calls with 0 value.

But now, in my tests, I am sending money, just to create transactions, i.e. blocks, in an uncomplicated way. And for that I actually want non-zero balances.

And in general, I think it's a good idea, to drop some ETH on the default account of :8545.
Makes your whole tool more useful, no?

[drandreaskrueger]

My workaround now is sending (virtual no virtual) money (lol) by using {'value': 0}.

See amount=0.

So, no priority for me anymore, but in general probably a good extra feature of parity-deploy.

There is a built in balance on aura accounts...

Key:

@ddorgan Thanks.

Could you please make that address 00ea169ce7e0992960d3bde6f5d539c955316432 the default account on the first node :8545 ?

eth.accounts[0]

then

eth.getBalance(eth.accounts[0]) > 0

would be useful for almost everyone who is using parity-deploy.

@ddorgan just look at the other ones:

TestRPC

node version string = TestRPC/1.3.5/linux/python3.5.3
first account of node is 0x82A978B3f5962A5b0957d9ee9eEf472EE55B42F1,

geth-dev

and even

parity-deploy instantseal:

node version string = Parity-Ethereum//v2.2.3-beta-6b0a280-20181130/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.30.1

but still nothing for

parity-deploy AURA

node version string = Parity-Ethereum//v2.2.3-beta-6b0a280-20181130/x86_64-linux-gnu/rustc1.30.1

@drandreaskrueger btw with the latest master you should now have a balance in the account:
