I’m testing the Ledger canister locally. I’ve confirmed that the canister that I sending ICP from has funds in them and am attempting to send some of those funds to another canister. When I do, i get an insufficient funds error. I suspect that this may be due to the dfx version that I’m using. I’m c…

I think i may have found the issue. I think the issue is how I’m defining the account-Id. func userAccountId() : Account.AccountIdentifier { Account.accountIdentifier(principal, Account.defaultSubaccount()) }; I used the user’s principal to define the account-id as opposed to using the…

Are you using the dfx ledger command, or the dfx canister call <local-ledger> command?

The command that I used to check the canister balance is: dfx canister call ledger account_balance '(record { account = '$(python3 -c 'print("vec{" + ";".join([str(b) for b in bytes.fromhex("'$JESSE_ACC'")]) + "}")')' })' The response I get is: (record { e8s = 10_000_000_000 : nat64 }) also, whe…

Maybe there’s a discrepancy between $JESSE_ACC and the accountIdentifier of your canister’s default subaccount?

The UI uses the same account identifier for rendering the balance and transferring ICP. When the UI renders the balance, it shows that there are funds there.

Right - you are having consistent success on checking a balance, but I’d first try to make sure that the balance your checking matches up to the accountIdentifier resulting from let res = await Ledger.transfer({ memo = Nat64.fromNat(10); from_subaccount = null; to = recipientAccountId; amou…

I’ll give this a try. Thanks a bunch!

Yes, the ledger uses the canister’s ID as the base, and the canister can only control assets under its own principal. This is a big part of what I solve with my Invoice Canister Design

I have a similar problem in that I can get the account balance using Ledger.account_balance in motoko but then when I try Ledger.transfer I get #Err(#InsufficientFunds({balance = {e8s = 0}})). I check the account balance and it has e8s, then I use the same account as the from_subaccount but I get t…

Ok I am able to do half of what I need by using: let result = await Ledger.transfer({ memo: Nat64 = 0; from_subaccount = ?Account.principalToSubaccount(user); to = account_id; amount = { e8s = e8Amount }; fee = { e8s = icp_fee }; created_at_time = ?{ timestamp_nanos = Nat64.fromNat(Int.abs…
