cannot convert 'Transaction' object to bytes

[creosmart]

Hello, seems there's an error when running trade.py:

"Attempt 1 to create associated token account failed: cannot convert 'Transaction' object to bytes"

Thanks

That's most likely due to the mismatch between the data you received from blockSubscribe and the chain data. What this means ultimately is you need to increase the cooldown period to allow the chain data to catch up from the moment you receive it over blockSubscribe and have the actual chain data. See the relevant issue anza-xyz/agave#3074

As @akegaviar mentioned, sleep is a workaround, for my case, I kind of decoupled the logic, and separated the buy event, instead of waiting, you can rerun with retries till the expected result is satisfied. It had a great impact on the bot results

@akegaviar I increased the cooldown to 120 await asyncio.sleep(120) but still getting the same error, any suggestions? @AidHamza I was hoping to be one of the first buyers of the token, can this be achieved with the logic you mentioned?

@creosmart I suggest you add logging to see at what the stage the issue is.

@creosmart I encountered this same issue. I fixed it by using solana version 0.34.0 instead of 0.35.0

Thanks for the help @nickatnight . I should have included requirements.txt right from the start but missed that and only added it yesterday.

Thanks a lot @nickatnight, as a beginner I couldn't figure it out and it was doing my head in 😁

@creosmart I encountered this same issue. I fixed it by using solana version 0.34.0 instead of 0.35.0

Facing the same issue even in version 0.34.0

There should be solana==0.34.3 in requirements.txt, or it will install 35 version thats not working.
