Sorry guys, I needed some help badly. With the provided code, I am getting Transaction was not mined within 50 blocks, please make sure your transaction was properly sent. Be aware that it might still be mined! Sometime I get transaction underpriced. Can someone help me on this issue?

Hi @owsome888, and welcome to the Infura community! From the error message, it sounds like you may need to try increasing your gas price - have you tried that already?

Thank you Leiya for your very kind word.
I am using 1Inch official gas price, may I know what’s the best way to set the gas price?

I tried to increase the gas price 10 fold and having the same problem. My transaction hash is 0xe46966e4dc76f539ae0255c6aa617aca0901e53da1f5028e5f9b1f4a4166978d

Thanks for providing the transaction hash!

It’s interesting - in our system, it says that you tried sending this 5 different times - the first and second tries, your transaction was underpriced, but the third, fourth, and fifth times, it looks like it went through with the following result: {“jsonrpc”:“2.0”,“id”:2,“result”:“0xe46966e4dc76f539ae0255c6aa617aca0901e53da1f5028e5f9b1f4a4166978d”}

I am facing this problem for 2 days now, and I have also tried many times by increasing the gas charge, but all get the same message as above. Please help me fix this problem. Thank you very much and look forward to your help.

Hi @Ngoc_Sy, and welcome to the Infura community!

I am not seeing your transaction hash in our database - can you please send over the code you’re using to try to send the transaction so we can help you debug?

hello i’ve been getting this error for 2 days now. what should I do. I’ve raised the gas price a lot, but I still haven’t figured it out. (Transaction was not mined within 50 blocks, please make sure your transaction was properly sent. Be aware that it might still be mined!)

Hello, I’m having the same problem.

“Transaction was not mined within 50 blocks, please make sure your transaction was properly sent. Be aware that it might still be mined!”

Raised gas price but still haven’t solved the problem. Any tips for solving this issue?

Hello @Bruno_Lima, @playcards100, and welcome to the Infura community!

Would you be able to share transaction hashes with us so we can take a look?

Hello, I have the same probjem. transaction hash is 0x23cc9b834bd2b2d752885a1d2c1e0c198a5b30822292e749d0f2253e64d5bf09.
I’m using web3j, here is the code:

BigInteger gasLimit = BigInteger.valueOf(5000000);
BigInteger gasPrice = Convert.toWei(“1”, Convert.Unit.GWEI).toBigInteger();
ContractGasProvider gasProvider = new StaticGasProvider(gasPrice, gasLimit);
var contract = Erc20.load(“0x72d8513987bc89afd51d20490bdf2cc7f6ae8b12”, web3j, credentials, gasProvider);
var result = contract.approve(“0xA67E0B126E5bCe25551Dc0B3211A1Bd0F4674e0B”, BigInteger.TEN).send();

The problem was in gas limit. Sorry to bother you.

@stomchuk, I’m glad you were able to figure it out, and thanks for letting us know!

Hi,

I have the same problem, I have Harmony ONE coins and I receive the same message when I want to claim rewards or send some coins for someone, My message is as below.

Failed
Transaction was not mined within 50 blocks, please make sure your transaction was properly sent. Be aware that it might still be mined!

anybody can help me, unfortunately, no hash exists on explorer.harmony.one to share with you

I set the Gas price GWEI ( 30 ) and the Gas Limit ( 21000 )
