Browser ONLY support for Broadcast votes? about steem-js HOT 6 CLOSED

The error message means that the expiration time of the transaction was already passed by the time it was broadcas,t, so it was rejected by the blockchain. Could be an issue with your local clock being out of sync for example.

You can rather use Steem.js on browser or service side, you don't need server side to broadcast vote if you don't want to. The vote should work, this error come from the blockchain, my guess is that you are voting for a post too old. Can you show me the params you are using?

Thanks for the ideas guys. This is using on recent posts, so don't think it too old. My clock is in sync with an online time service so not sure how that could cause it either. Either way, Here is my function for this vote, still get the same error response.

$scope.vote = function() {
var wif = steem.auth.toWif('unipsycho', PRIVATE_POSTING_KEY, 'posting');
steem.broadcast.vote(PRIVATE_POSTING_KEY, 'unipsycho', 'countryinspired', 'steemit-photo-challenge-entry-1-reflections', 10000, function(err, result) {
console.log(err, result);
});
}

Can you check on your console network when the vote is broadcasted if the "expiration" time is UTC?

from steem-js.

Looks like the expiration time is in UTC, yes, but the now going out is still before the expiration. I set my local clock back a couple minutes and tried in UTC as well, but the now (shown in the console) is still going out a couple minutes before the expiration for some reason.

OK, so playing around more with this, I set to use a time server to auto sync my clock and timezone then I tried again, got a voting power error instead. I dropped the voting power and voila, the vote went through, so not sure why the clock is so critical to this, but its working with this, so thanks for the help guys in figuring this out, I hope it gives you a closer idea what went wrong as well. now I can get back to coding. haha
