getTransactionReceipt: Number can only safely store up to 53 bits

[WizardsOrb]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

.../node_modules/number-to-bn/node_modules/bn.js/lib/bn.js:6
    if (!val) throw new Error(msg || 'Assertion failed');
                    ^
Error: Number can only safely store up to 53 bits

Expected Behavior

Steps to Reproduce

// chain ETC (61)

web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt('0x84e8b73c5f9e5f1fdd6e3482022f3c65ceb92d95c4ea92075c04d1a22f6b3152').then(console.log)

gasPrice is 10mio GWEI.

representing effectiveGasPrice as string would solve the problem (currently typeof number)

@nikoulai error appears again on web3@1.8.1 when I am trying to get receipt for a specific transaction on goerli network, i suppose it's because of this transaction huge fee at 6,764.3 eth

https://goerli.etherscan.io/tx/0x2e9c7587a80d33e801ad76b62e3c27f1f263955e02f870e6c01b3ad4b0b4aa3d

Solution:

> vi +207 ./node_modules/web3-utils/lib/utils.js

207     //return toBN(value).toNumber();                                            
208     return toBN(value).toString();             

log

> var goerli = new Web3('ws://localhost:40002');
undefined
> t = '0x2e9c7587a80d33e801ad76b62e3c27f1f263955e02f870e6c01b3ad4b0b4aa3d'

> await goerli.eth.getTransactionReceipt(t)
