hmyv2_getTransactionReceipt is returning:
{'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'error': {'code': -32000, 'message': 'method handler crashed'}}

To Reproduce

>>> hash = '0xb50c907dcdf2673a2c96d6469754f5c8b67cdb7426322797c179a3aa28f1764e'
>>> params = [hash]
>>> JSONRPC_ENDPOINT = "https://api.harmony.one"
>>> payload = {
...         "method": "hmyv2_getTransactionReceipt",
...         "params": params,
...         "jsonrpc": "2.0",
...         "id": 1,
...     }
>>> import json
>>> import requests
>>> response = requests.post(JSONRPC_ENDPOINT, json=payload).json()
>>> response

Hello @samhsiung,

First of all, thanks for notifying us about the issue you faced!

Main initial investigation:

• It looks like that new field effectiveGasPrice gives us issue for the old blocks, like 0xb50c907dcdf2673a2c96d6469754f5c8b67cdb7426322797c179a3aa28f1764e that were produced before binary update.
• if you try something recent - 0xa65fc596d2a82a4c7bff56bf46330ae27bb814a3840b6fe751f7b597c9504401 it will be processed successfully.

@Frozen, please take a look on this 🙏

As a current mitigation measure of the issue that you have, please try to use https://a.api.s0.t.hmny.io, it still have an old binary.

Sorry for any inconvenience! 🙏

Thanks, I tried https://a.api.s0.t.hmny.io and it does work for half the hashes I encountered but it also failed for other ones like this:

>>> def test():
...     hash = '0xb50c907dcdf2673a2c96d6469754f5c8b67cdb7426322797c179a3aa28f1764e'
...     params = [hash]
...     JSONRPC_ENDPOINT = "https://a.api.s0.t.hmny.io"
...     payload = {
...             "method": "hmyv2_getTransactionReceipt",
...             "params": params,
...             "jsonrpc": "2.0",
...             "id": 1,
...     }
...     import json
...     import requests
...     response = requests.post(JSONRPC_ENDPOINT, json=payload).json()
...     return response
...
>>> test()
{'jsonrpc': '2.0', 'id': 1, 'error': {'code': -32000, 'message': 'method handler crashed'}}

Hello @samhsiung,

We are aware about the issue and have done an initial investigation and preparing a fix.

Please use a mitigation with retry mechanism -> don't go to the next transaction until you get the info for the previous one without error.

Work on the fix started in #4844

@mur-me @Frozen issue is not only localized to staking transaction, here is one that also fails not related to staking:
