Hard Fork Error

[biddy87]

System information

Version: `0.0.0`
OS & Version: windows/linux/osx
Node type: `eth/geth(default)`

After using https://slacknation.github.io/medium/12/12.html

Steps 1 - 3 work fine
Step 4, after much delay, it finished, it took about 12 hours
Step 5, when entering the password, getting the error "the method personal_signAndSend Transaction does not exist/is not available"

Basically, pw error....pw was leveraged for other transactions including step 4 fine, please advise.

node type: eth

Ah there we go. Make sure to use eth in at least version 1.3.0 as it is the first supporting the HF. Otherwise you will end up on the non-fork chain. You could also use geth as eth is not yet running smoothly: #834 (here are some problems of Mist+eth: #607). Mind that you would need to move your account's keyfiles over to geth.

Please check if you are on the HF chain: #1028

I downloaded Mist yesterday 0.8.1 and started a new node. I am hitting this error when following these instructions: https://steemit.com/ethereum/@pauls/ethereum-fork-step-by-step-guide-to-safely-splitting-your-eth-etc

What eth version are you using?

[frozeman]

The lates might not work. We first have to update mist

This should be fixed in 0.8.2.
