64: too-long-mempool-chain

[tsubasa1380]

I'm running full node bitcoin server and use bitcoin-core RPC library.

I sent transaction by using rpc command 'sendrawtransaction'
but the result returned err as below.

「64: too-long-mempool-chain」

So I checked memopool by using rpc command 'getmempoolinfo', then returned as follows.
{
  "size": 0,
  "bytes": 0,
  "usage": 96,
  "maxmempool": 300000000,
  "mempoolminfee": 0.00000000
}

What should I do for sending transaction successfully ?

Additinal information.
I use Bitcoin Core : version 0.13

I believe that means there are too many "unconfirmed" parent transactions... You can try using the suggestion here: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/59178/64-too-long-mempool-chain

By using the -limitancestorcount and/or -limitdescedantcount commandline arguments, you can override the default limit of 25 unconfirmed transactions.

Thank you for your answer.

Surely you are right.
There are too many "unconfirmed" parent transactions.

Can I override the default limit of 25 unconfirmed transactions by adding to cofiguration file as below.

  1.  Additionally write to configuration file.
  bitcoin.conf-----------------------
  limitancestorcount=1000 ← e.g. 1000
  limitdescedantcount=1000 ← e.g. 1000
  ----------------------------------
  2. Restart bitcoind with -reindex options.

Then try to sendrawtransaction again.

How about this ?

Sure, you can do that, but that does not mean that your transactions will actually be relayed across the network. Just because you have this in your config does not mean that your peers will so they likely won't accept any transactions once you reach the default limit. Your local config only applies to your node. Changing this just means the transactions will sit in your node's mempool (and not be relayed across the network). They won't even be rebroadcast by your node because nodes don't do that.

Instead of trying to get long unconfirmed transaction chains to be relayed, you should be rethinking why you are generating long unconfirmed transaction chains and thinking of ways that you can avoid making long unconfirmed transaction chains instead.

 2. Restart bitcoind with -reindex options.

No need to do that. This has nothing to do with the databases.

Tank you for the explanation. I understand.
If I override the default limit , this applies only to my node.

Thank you for your advice. I will try to improve it.

Does this  means that there is no need for adding reindex options ?
  2. Restart bitcoind (← without adding -reindex options)

Correct. Just restart without -reindex

[tsubasa1380]

Correct. Just restart without -reindex

Than you for your replay!

I will restart bitcoind without -reindex, and then try to sendrawtransaction agan.
