Eth_sign and personal sign

Moralis General
#9

hope you understand now. I am stuck at this for a very long time :frowning:

#10

I know the difference between the sign methods. Did you try it with a simple text message just to see if you got the syntax right?

#11

yes I did. I need it for a trnsaction though. When I do it with transaction i get this error

MetaMask - RPC Error: insufficient funds for gas * price + value
#12

what is the difference then? are you sure that is the issue?

#13

thats the error i am getting when using personal sign

#14

this syntax should work without issues:

signature = await web3.eth.personal.sign(data, ethAddress, '');

are you sure you are running this code and not something else?

MetaMask - RPC Error: eth_sign requires 32 byte message hash
#15

this works without issues for me:

signature = await web3.eth.personal.sign("\x34\x45", "address_here", '');
#16

i get the error when I try to send the signed transaction. My bad. Still why is that ?

#17

can you give en example that I could test, like the actual value for the data parameter?

#18

It looks like that similary


                let hexGasPrice  = web3.utils.toHex(Math.floor(gasPrice * 1.3))
                const transactionObject = {
                    nonce: web3.utils.toHex(trasnaction),
                    gasPrice: hexGasPrice,
                    gasLimit: '0x55F0',
                    to: receive,
                    value: '0x',
                    data: encodedABI,
                }

                let hexObject = new ethereumjs.Tx(transactionObject);
                let hexString = '0x' + hexObject.serialize().toString('hex'),
                    encoded = {
                        encoding: 'hex'
                    }
                const rawHash = web3.utils.sha3(hexString, encoded);


                await web3.eth.personal.sign(rawHash, walletAddress, '').then(hash => {
                        await web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(signedTrans).....

};
#19

what is this?

here, you could use a console log for that rawHash, and get the signature value with await

#20 
                    const signedTrans = '0x' + hexObject.serialize().toString('hex');
                    console.log(signedTrans);

thats the signed trans.

Yeah I logged it now. Didnt change much :frowning:

#21

you can not send a singed transaction hash that was signed with personal sign as you would send a normal transaction, you can only save the signature and validate it, it will not be mined on chain as a normal transaction

#22

with eth_sign it works. Any alternative to eth_sign ?

#23

I don’t understand what you want to do

#24
#25

that is something that will happen when you try to sign a binary message, it doesn’t look like you got into that issue yet

#26

i still get this scary warning for some reason(

#27

usually you use personal sign to sign text data, for example you can convert binary data to hex so that it is showed as text

#28

i tried rn converting "hello world " to a hex and signing that with eth_sign. The scray warning is still there. I need eth:sign. Its the only method sending transactions. Thats really sad tbh. Maybe there are different methods
