Blocked for new account creation.

[l0git3k]

Hello,
I have set up a kurtosis instance with the settings below but I get stuck when I want to create accounts and transfer ETH.
I've tried using “clef” on a separate machine, but I haven't found a way to make it work with my nodes from Kurtosis. I've also tried using “clef” directly from an EL, again without success. When I create a new account with the “geth account new” command on an EL, the account is created but not visible in the JS console (eth.accounts).

I've managed to connect a metamask wallet via RPC to my EL but when I try to transfer funds between pre-funded accounts and my metamask wallet it tells me that the pre-funded account doesn't exist.

I'm a bit stuck as I can't find any help for my problem. Am I looking in the right place, is what I'm trying to do correct?
My goal is to have a private local node on which I can transfer fake funds and develop smart contracts.

Thank you for your help.

kurtosis run github.com/ethpandaops/ethereum-package --args-file ./network_params.yaml --image-download always

My config file : network_params.yml

which prefunded accounts did you use? Did you import some private keys to metamask?

In the output provided after the command :

Regarding Metamask, I followed the documentation for adding a private network. The RPC url and chainid are recognized by Metamask. I didn't import a private key.

try to import the private key to metamask, and see if it shows you the balance.

Ok well that's weird because I imported two private keys into metamask and both show zero.

However, when I display their balance via RPC, I get this:

~/geth$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:40307   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"eth_getBalance", "params":["0x8943545177806ED17B9F23F0a21ee5948eCaa776","latest"], "id":1}'
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x33b2e3c9fd0803ce8000000"}

~/geth$ curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:40307   -H "Content-Type: application/json"   --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"eth_getBalance", "params":["0xE25583099BA105D9ec0A67f5Ae86D90e50036425","latest"], "id":1}'
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"result":"0x33b2e3c9fd0803ce8000000"}

I don't know if I'm using the right approach, because all I want to do in the end is manage to fund an account with ETH so that I can simulate transactions and then use Smart Contracts. I'm putting all this together for a course at a Swiss state school.
Thank you very much for your reply.
