Error: cannot estimate gas

[jfernandez31]

Hi can some one please help with this?

Error: cannot estimate gas; transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit (error={"reason":"cannot estimate gas; transaction may fail or may require manual gas limit","code":"UNPREDICTABLE_GAS_LIMIT","error":{"code":-32000,"response":"{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":8,"error":{"code":-32000,"message":"gas required exceeds allowance (0)"}}"},"method":"estimateGas","transaction

Use Estimate Function of web3js to guess the gas of any transaction...
