Sending Address has over 1 Eth in current Balance.
Using the Geth console, I can send many transactions of any amount less than .033
eth.sendTransaction({to:'0x8B9da75fda99bAd680154050Ba386523CA3AD112',
from:'0x62396567241bC92Ee3D082AC3C4144511Ec6c773',
value:web3.toWei(.033,'ether'),gas:30000})
"0x113dd5b9c8bb6d48fe2b3ef16576905f6e46aa4ed6cd080120a2aaf54113e7b4"
If I try to send .034 ETH or greater, then I always get this error.
eth.sendTransaction({to:’0x8B9da75fda99bAd680154050Ba386523CA3AD112′,
from:’0x62396567241bC92Ee3D082AC3C4144511Ec6c773′,value:web3.toWei(.034
,’ether’),gas:30000}) Insufficient funds for gas * price + value

It seems to be a bug in geth, try the solution presented here : https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/2173
they assume that the solution is :
Convert all values to hex (with bc if you use bash)
Make sure to specify both gas and gasPrice! Enclose all values in single quotes
eth.sendTransaction({from:’0x123456′, to:’0x123456′,
value: ‘0x8AC4270ACC4B7FF7’, gas: ‘0x5208’, gasPrice:
‘0x4A817C800’});»

I wanted to add an important information:
gas * price + value really means MAXGas * price.
In my case transactions failed from time to time when gas price increased because gas limit was set too high! Even if you know that it won’t be that expensive you should use a reasonable amount.

I was able to solve my issue by upgrading geth to: Geth/v1.4.16-stable/linux/go1.6.2

gas:4.7M, gasPrice:101 GWei => error: insufficient funds.
gas:3.7M, gasPrice:101 GWei => it works ok.
gas:4.7M, gasPrice:100 GWei => error: insufficient funds.
gas:4.7M, gasPrice:90 GWei => error: insufficient funds.
gas:4.7M, gasPrice:70 GWei => it works ok.
gas:4.7M, gasPrice:80 GWei => it works ok.
gas:4.7M, gasPrice:85 GWei => error: insufficient funds.
gas:4.7M, gasPrice:82 GWei => it works ok.
...
gas:1.0M, gasPrice:10 GWei => it works ok.
So, there is a (variable?) limit for gas*gasPrice that throws the error. Using gas and prices lower and far from this limit is probably the safer approach.

In my private Ethereum Blockchain network, I resolved the issue by changing the chainId variable in my genesis block code to any random number except 0.
Please find the code for my genesis block below:
{
"config":{
"chainId": 45,
"homesteadBlock": 0,
"eip155Block": 0,
"eip158Block": 0,
"byzantiumBlock": 12
},
"alloc" : {},
"coinbase" : "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"difficulty" : "0x20000",
"extraData" : "",
"gasLimit" : "0x2fefd8",
"nonce" : "0x0000000000000042",
"mixhash" : "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"parentHash" : "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
"timestamp" : "0x00"
}
I hope it might be helpful for you.

I was having the same issue using Sepolia Test Network. In the truffle-config.js file I copied and pasted another network setting to create one for Sepolia. This configuration came with default gas and gasPrice parameter values. I removed them and let Sepolia dictate the default values for those parameters.
At the end my Sepolia config section was:
sepolia: {
provider: () => new HDWalletProvider(mnemonic,url_to_infuria_service),
network_id: 11155111,
}
}
Error was gone, and truffle log showed the the total cost for the transactions.

Если вы получаете ошибку, которая выглядит так: “Не хватает ETH для отправки”, это означает, что у вас недостаточно ETH на счету для покрытия расходов на газ.
Для каждой транзакции (включая транзакции с токенами и контрактами) нужен газ, который покупается за ETH. Вы можете рассматривать это как комиссию за транзакцию.
Решение: отправьте 0,01 ETH на этот аккаунт, чтобы иметь возможность совершить транзакцию.
В стандартной операции лимит газа составляет 21 000 единиц, а цена газа — 0,00000002 ETH, то есть общая комиссия будет 0,00042 ETH. С токенами количество газа обычно 50 000 — 100 000 единиц, поэтому общая комиссия увеличивается до 0,001–0,002 ETH.
Подробнее о газе
- Стандартная транзакция будет стоить
21 000единиц газа, а цена газа —0,00000002 ETH, поэтому общая комиссия составит0,00042 ETH. - С токенами количество газа обычно 50 000 — 100 000 единиц, поэтому общая комиссия увеличивается до
0,001–0,002 ETH. - Количество ETH или токенов, которые вы отправляете, не влияет на нужное вам количество газа.
- Лимит газа — это максимальное количество газа, которое вы отправите во время транзакции. Это в единицах газа.
- Цена газа — это стоимость каждой единицы газа. Цену газа можно изменить в Настройках, или в разделе ‘Комиссия за транзакцию’ на странице ‘Отправить транзакцию’.
