Unable to deploy Solana smart Contract coded in Anchor about solana-playground

Hey, same as #193 (comment).

Deploying programs require making transactions but devnet doesn't accept transactions currently. It should be fixed soon.

Hi,

I am still facing the similar issue that is unable to deploy program on devnet.

Can you share browser console logs(F12)?

Here is the screenshot. The error message is "Transaction simulation failed: This account may not be used to pay transaction fees", but my address on devnet has enough SOL balance.

This error happens when your account is not owned by the System program. Anchor added a check for it in coral-xyz/anchor#2284 but it's still possible to initialize wallet accounts as program accounts since Solana doesn't differentiate them in protocol level. You can check the owner of your account by running

solana account <ADDRESS>

in the terminal.

yeah, you are right. My address is not owned by the System program. Is it possible to change the ownership? I do not find any solution for that. Thanks

It should be possible to recover from this by creating a transaction to send funds from that wallet but paying the fee from another wallet. You can create another wallet account and use them in a TS file with pg.wallets.

Also, I'm curious to know how you changed the owner of your wallet account.

I forgot what I did to cause this issue. I would try the way you mentioned. Thanks a million.
