I am trying to create a transaction by sending 1 ether from one account to another. Currently, I'm running a local fully-synched parity node. It's running on the Volta test network of EWF (Energy Web Foundation). It's actually possible connecting to that node by Metamask and sending some Ether, but whenever I try that with the web3js which runs in a nodejs app, the parity node gives the following warning/output:

When I checked the balance of the accounts, nothing has happened. I've tried to increase gasPrice, adding a 'from' key/value pair to txObject, etc. I have also started parity node with --no-persistent-txqueue so that it doesn't cache too many of transactions, as it's suggested here. But that didn't change anything, either. So I still get the same error and transaction doesn't go through. What is causing this problem and how can I solve it?
web3.eth.getTransactionCount(from, (err, txCount) => {
const txObject = {
nonce: web3.utils.toHex(txCount),
from: from,
to: to,
value: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei(val, 'ether')),
gas: web3.utils.toHex(21000),
gasPrice: web3.utils.toHex(web3.utils.toWei('60', 'gwei'))
}
// Sign the transaction
const tx = new Tx(txObject);
tx.sign(pk);
const serializedTx = tx.serialize();
const raw = '0x' + serializedTx.toString('hex');
// Broadchast the transaction to the network
web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(raw, (err, txHash) => {
if (txHash === undefined) {
res.render('sendTransaction', {
txSuccess: 0,
blockHash: 'Hash Undefined'
});
res.end();;
} else {
res.render('sendTransaction', {
txSuccess: 1,
blockHash: txHash,
});
res.end();;
}
});
});
Any suggestion is welcome, Thanks!
