Goal account renewpartkey: cannot construct transaction: txn validity period is greater than protocol max txn lifetime 1000

[mstuder]

I’m running a node which participates in consensus using a Ledger Nano X. My participation key is about to expire and I would like to renew it. When I try to use the “goal account renewpartkey” command with my Ledger device plugged in, I get

cannot construct transaction: txn validity period (...) is greater than protocol max txn lifetime 1000.

As --roundLastValid I use the the roundLastValid of the previous participation key -40’000 + 3’000’000. What am I missing?

See

Consensus Participation

There are two validity periods: validity period of the part key: goal account addpartkey .... This should be 3M. validity period of the transaction that register the part key: goal account changeonlinestatus .... This should be like any transaction: at most 1000 rounds. Furthermore: it should be so that the current round is within the validity period it should be so that the first round is after the beginning of the validity of the part key itself simplest solution is just to not specify the …

Thanks @fabrice for your feedback. I see how I would use the single commands (addpartkey and changeonlinestatus) but specifically wanted to make use of the renewpartkey command. Is the meaning of the --roundLastValid parameter for renewpartkey different than in the other commands?

Indeed, this looks like a bug.
I’ve made a report:

`goal account renewpartkey` does not separate transaction validity from partkey validity

Thanks for the feedback!
