FYI I’ve formatted your logs. Do have a look out for the </> button in the toolbar to help make things readable. :+1:

From a quick Google search, Consensus error 124, not disconnecting:

And Wasn't able to add transaction with id x, status 3 error: Err.DOUBLE_SPEND:

So this is all normal and nothing to worry about. Next time, please make sure to do a basic Google search first, it will save you some worry! :wink:

Geting this error on 1.1.5 version

my log file is plagued with this error every few seconds along with an occasional COIN AMOUNT NEGATIVE or DOUBLE SPEND error. Any idea what’s up? Should i just leave things alone? I appear to be farming as normal, plots are passing filter. Thanks

Hi, This is normal. People are still running the client with the bug.

I know the negative coin amount is the detection they added in the 1.1.5 update today. Double spend messages happen, suspect it is often the result of a race condition across the network (but not sure). From the full node (after updating to the 1.1.5 version) I’m seeing “Consensus error 124, not disconnecting”.

Here is the reason for the double spend error:

Why am I getting hundreds of status 3 error: Err.DOUBLE_SPEND?

As @roybot explained, you already received that transaction, so the double spend error is your client rejecting data received slower from another user

That makes sense. The chia team needs to spend a bit of time thinking about what an “Error” is, I think. From a programmer’s perspective, this is definitely an error. From a user’s perspective, it’s informational.

whew good to know. I just started farming and im like oh no i borked it

Did anyone observe this - getting DOUBLE_SPEND error, mostly when there are plots passing filter - I was looking at the debug file in terminal and the GUI placed side by side and saw this happening multiple times.

@doink @BeeAnon @Blueoxx @casualChia @dan90266 ^^

Or anyone got a block reward irrespective of this error?

yes, i have this error a lot. won a block reward yesterday
