Question

I'm trying to complete the upload step to deploy a candy machine and I am using Metaplex v2 and I am using devnet(not using minnet-beta) and "storage": "arweave" also set to devnet but still I get the below output error:

Please let me know if you have the other question.
Can you please help me with that and thanks to you in advance!

Answer 1

Check you have funds in the wallet keypair you are using.

solana balance

Then double check your config file you are using with the -cp option.

Showing the exact cmd you are running as well would be useful.

Answer 2

according to metaplex candy machine v2 document this is the minimum configuration:

{
    "price": 1.0,
    "number": 10,
    "gatekeeper": null,
    "solTreasuryAccount": "<YOUR WALLET ADDRESS>",
    "splTokenAccount": null,
    "splToken": null,
    "goLiveDate": "25 Dec 2021 00:00:00 GMT",
    "endSettings": null,
    "whitelistMintSettings": null,
    "hiddenSettings": null,
    "storage": "arweave-sol",
    "ipfsInfuraProjectId": null,
    "ipfsInfuraSecret": null,
    "awsS3Bucket": null,
    "noRetainAuthority": false,
    "noMutable": false
}

so, you should put your devnet account public key instead of solTreasuryAccount

for creating this wallet

solana-keygen new --outfile ~/.config/solana/devnet.json

from the above command, you have the public key of generated wallet. let's call it devnet-wallet-pubkey, so for airdrop some sol to it(repeat this command once again to have enough sol):

solana airdrop 2 devnet-wallet-pubkey

now you can put this wallet public key instead of that solTreasuryAccount.
